HC Deb 02 February 1954 vol 523 c26W
Mr. Jay

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the gross revenue expected to be raised per year by the increases in Purchase Tax embodied in Purchase Tax Orders, 1954, Nos. 1, 2 and 3; and the gross revenue expected to be lost by the reductions in these Orders.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I estimate that, in a full year, the increases in tax imposed by these Orders will yield approximately £1 million, and the reductions will cost approximately £3 million.
