PLAN TO TAX COSMETICS
£350,000 A Year Yield
NEW SCALE DUTY ON MEDICINES
A Select Committee of the House. of Commons, composed of men, in- cluding Mr. R. T. D. Acland, Str John Ganzoni and Sir Arnold Wil- son, recommends a penny duty on every sixpence worth of "remedial" cosmetics sold in Britain, under the... Medicine Stamp Duties regulations.
If there is difficulty in deciding which cosmetics are "remedial," then the Government should con- sider taxing all cosmetics, says the Committee,
At the rate of one periny in six- pence, this tax would yield more than £350,000, since this country uses approximately £2,025,000 of cosmetics annually.
