Mr. Trotter
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to what extent foreign VAT or its equivalent tax incurred by
charities, and for the periods, mentioned in the question. This is partly because of the delegation of authority to United Kingdom banks and partly because exchange control permission was not required for remittances to the overseas sterling area prior to 23rd June 1972. The charities themselves could probably provide the information requested.
