INLAND REVENUE, C. 2.000 560 (Red 30 JUN 03 SOMERSET HOUSE, LONDON, W.C.) 29th June, 1903.
Sir,
With reference to Mr. Lucas' letter of the 11th instant, No. 20546/03, forwarding a copy of a despatch from the Governor of Hong Kong and enclosures, I am directed by the Board of Inland Revenue to acquaint you for the information of Mr. Secretary Chamberlain that no deduction is made by this Department upon the allowance of spoiled or useless stamps, applicants (who prove their title to allowance) receiving the full allowance of the face value of the stamps.
As regards the draft Order in Council forwarded, the Board note the Governor's statement that its provisions are based on the rules in force in England, but they would point out that the period, six months, limited for claiming the allowance of spoiled stamps, which period is probably taken from the Stamp Duties Management Act 1891, was extended in this country to two years by the Revenue Act 1898.
The Board would also observe,
The Under Secretary of State, Colonial Office.
