§ 1. Captain Viscount CURZONasked the President of the Board of Trade whether taximeters, speedometers, spare parts, etc., for taximeter cabs and other commercial vehicles are subject to import duty; and, if so, on what grounds?
Mr. YOUNGWhether imported "accessories" or "component parts" of motor ears are charged with duty depends upon the nature of the vehicles in connection with which they are used. As taxicabs are liable to tax, their accessories, etc., are also chargeable, but the accessories, etc., of certain exempt classes of trade vehicles are themselves exempt.
