HC Deb 04 March 1969 vol 779 c70W
76. Mr. James Davidson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the total amount of Purchase Tax collected in the last complete year in respect of goods produced by individual craftsmen; and what is his estimate of the cost of collecting that tax from the producers concerned.

Mr. Harold Lever

I regret that the information requested is not available.

86. Mr. James Davidson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider methods of registering approved craftsmen and individual producers to enable their products to be exempted from Purchase Tax.

Mr. Harold Lever

No. Any special concession would give rise to anomalies and to justifiable complaints from manufacturers of similar taxed goods.
