HC Deb 25 July 1968 vol 769 c181W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what is the Purchase Tax now payable under his regulations on bagpipes and all other musical instruments.

Mr. Harold Lever

Bagpipes are chargeable by statute at the rate of 33⅓ per cent. of their wholesale value, in common with all other musical instruments except certain keyboard instruments, notably organs and pianos which are exempt.
