Look at that Purchase Tax was very nearly half the price of the car again,45 pounds difference. A hundred fifteen pounds 14 shillings and tuppence, we where being shafted even then. And they said we had never had it so good.

For those too young to remember purchase tax, it was a initially aflat rate tax ( 33 1/3%) introduced during WW2 on 'luxury goods' to save on materials. It was found to be a good earner for the Gov. and was used at various rates (up to 75%) depending on the degree of luxury of an item. This led to the popularity of kit cars (and bikes) in the 50's and 60's. Parts usually having a zero tax rate.
As usual the Gov. made some really daft errors when deciding what was a luxury item and the rates of tax. In the 1948 schedule, food and drinks containers had zero tax while silver plated ones had 25 % tax, but they forgot about gold so from 48 to 54 you had a situation where a gold plated tea pot had no tax but silver plated did.
History lesson over.

There was an awful lot of silver plated teapots about until the tax then obviously we all switched to gold plated ones.. made the tea taste better..(posher) |
