HC Deb 15 February 1967 vol 741 c121W
95. Sir G. de Freitas

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will introduce a turnover tax on the added value system to take effect by 1970, in view of the incentive it would provide for exporters and of the fact that such a system will prevail in the Common Market by 1st January, 1970.

Mr. Callaghan

The implications of the recent E.E.C. announcement on added value tax are being studied, although I do not think it has been established that the introduction of such a tax would provide an incentive for exporters.
