Administrative / biographical background

The Excess Profits Tax Advisory Panel was set up in September 1946 under the chairmanship of William Henry Coates. It was appointed as a panel by the Treasury under section 42 of the Finance (Number 2) Act of 1945.

The function of the panel was to authorise post-war refunds to taxpayers who had paid excess profits tax. This was a refund of 20 %, less income tax of excess profits tax to persons not originally carrying out the business, or where there was change in the original business.

The panel was dissolved in 1956.
