HC Deb 16 March 1950 vol 472 c1252
65. Mr. Niall Macpherson

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware of the hardship involved for small retailers, particularly jewellers, through the charging of Purchase Tax on postage of goods supplied to them in small quantities, which, unlike bulk orders, are not delivered to them carriage free; and whether he will remove this handicap.

Mr. Jay

Delivery charges, whether paid separately or included in the basic price of the goods, are included by Statute in the computation of value for Purchase Tax purposes.
