Those nice people at the Inland Revenue have some pages on their website ("what you get for income tax!") devoted to this very subject. from which I quote:
"In 1939, the standard rate of income tax was 29% with surtax at 41% for incomes over £50,000. Ten million people were liable for tax, and the total sum raised was £400 million."
