HC Deb 21 November 1972 vol 846 cc337-8W
Mr. Kinsey

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish details of the records Customs and Excise will require retailers to keep, to enable them to get credit for the purchase tax elements in stocks held on 31st March, 1973.

Mr. Higgins

Details of the rebate scheme for unsold purchase tax-paid stocks will be published by Customs and Excise as soon as possible. Traders should preserve their suppliers' invoices for purchase tax goods for resale which dividends at will. I see no reason to suspend measures designed solely to discourage the avoidance of tax.
