asked the Minister for Finance whether customs duty is being charged on wood preservative sold and invoiced by the Solignum Co. and, if so, if he will state under what authority such duty is leviable.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Duty on Wood Preservative.
Wood preservative would not be liable to duty provided it did not come within the scope of Reference No. 8 of the First Schedule to the Finance Act, 1932, except in so far as duty might be chargeable in respect of any spirits contained in it or used in its manufacture.
If the Deputy will give me full particulars of any cases which he has in mind, I shall have inquiries made and shall communicate the result to him in due course.
