HC Deb 15 June 1972 vol 838 c401W
Mr. Carter

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the amount at present collected via purchase tax on new cars; and what is the estimated amount in each of the next three years from value added tax.

Mr. Higgins

The yield of purchase tax from cars in 1972–73 is estimated to be about £325 million. No estimates of the yield from value added tax for the next three years can yet be given.
