Lipstick May Be Taxed In Great Britain
DRASTIC REVISION OF STAMP DUTY Impost Recommended on All Chemists' Medicines
Lipstick and other make-up may have to pay stamp duty in England in the future.
The repeal of all existing medicine stamp duties is recommended by a Select Committee, and they suggest- subject to certain exemptions-that there should be a duty, based on the retail selling price, on:
Medicines, drugs, herbs, fumigants, Inhalants, disini̇retanta, antisep-| ties, soaps, mouth-washes, tooth-pastes and powders, medicated winés, ; mineral waters, toilet preparations and cosmetics to be used or amplind us medicines or medicamenta which are recommended or advertised in any way for the prevention, cure or re-
