Tax Collection (Use of Giro)

HC Deb 21 November 1972 vol 846 cc338-9W

Mr. John D. Grant

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will arrange with Customs and Excise that the Post Office Giro system acts as collection agent for all payments.

Mr. Higgins

Facilities will be provided for the payment of value added tax through the Post Office Giro system. There has been little demand for this in relation to other Customs and Excise revenue.
