Mr. Newton
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will furnish a list of those EEC countries which operate a tax on the export of antiques and works of art to non-EEC countries and indicate the rates.
Mr. Robert Sheldon
From the information available I understand that only Italy operates a tax on exports of antiques and works of art to non-EEC countries. The rates of tax are as follows:
| Value of item(Lire) | Rate (per cent.) | |
| Up to 1,000,000 | … | 8 |
| From 1,000,001 to 6,000,000 … | … | 15 |
| From 6,000,001 to 21,000,000 | … | 25 |
| More than 21,000,000… | … | 30 |
