HC Deb 26 February 1973 vol 851 c263W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is his intention that a dealer operating the special VAT scheme contained in Customs and Excise Notice No. 712 may include an item in the special scheme if the seller or purchaser fails to sign the certificate required by the special scheme.

Mr. Higgins

It is not expected that obtaining the certificate will generally present any difficulty, but any case in which it proves to be impossible will be considered on its merits.

Mr. Faulds

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the special VAT scheme for works of art and antiques contained in Customs and Excise Notice No. 712 is optional with regard to eligible articles bearing in mind the wording of paragraph 8 of that notice.

Mr. Higgins

The scheme is optional.

Mr. Faulds

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what procedure is envisaged in the special VAT scheme contained in Customs and Excise Notice No. 712 in respect of works of art or antiques
