Further to Andrew's helpful posting, at the beginning of the 1930's, 10 million out of a population of 45 million paid income tax. Therefore the GA was in the top quartile of income earners.
I have not checked, but I think in the 1930's there was also a tax on the notional value of one's property which went directly to the treasury (Schedule A?). But I am not sure what the position was regarding local rates on properties.
We must not forget that 1932/3 was the time when the great depression bottomed out and many were unemployed. Thus even less people would be paying Income Tax.
If there were local rates, much police funding may have come from this source rather than income tax. Possibly the GA was not in a mood to be reminded of this - even if anyone knew.
For the majority of the 1930's Neville Chamberlain was our Chancellor of the Exchequer.
