HC Deb 23 December 1964 vol 704 cc320-1W
96 and 97. Mr. Tilney

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) whether, in view of the need to stimulate exports, he will immediately give exporting houses the details and claim forms for the export incentive scheme announced on 26th October or state when these will be issued, thus enabling exporting houses to assess and claim the rebate due to them;

(2) when exporters will receive the rebate due to them.

Mr. MacDermot

Treasury Orders to give effect to the export rebate scheme will be made in January. The first claim period will be for goods exported between 26th October, 1964, and 31st January, 1965. A notice explaining the procedure for making claims at the end of that time will be issued during January, and claim forms will be available at local Customs and Excise Offices.

This information was included in a notice issued by H.M. Customs and Excise on 18th December, i.e. the day after the Finance (No. 2) Act, 1964, came into force.
