Selective Employment Tax

HC Deb 08 July 1969 vol 786 cc215-6W

38. Mr. Kenneth Baker

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will publish the review of selective employment tax.

Mr. Diamond

Professor Reddaway's Report will be published.

46. Mr. Doig

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take steps to end the present discrimination between retail shops of electricity boards and private traders in the application of selective employment tax, when both are selling the same commodity.

Mr. Taverne

The effect of this difference in treatment for S.E.T. has not so far been shown to be sufficient to justify any action, but my right hon. Friend the Chancellor is keeping the matter under review.
