REFERRING to the new selective employment tax at the annual general meeting of the Traders' Road Transport Association, West Midland Division, on Monday, Mr. H. R. Featherstone, the national secretary of the Association, said that in his opinion a transport organization would not be subject to the tax if it were a minor part of a larger manufacturing entity. But if the fleet were engaged in distribution and separated physically from the works. tax would be payable.
Discussing the prospective braking regulations for existing vehicles, Mr. Featherstone advised transport managers immediately to examine their replacement policies in the light of the regulations on the assumption that the interim standard would become effective in 1967-8 and that the final standard would apply in 1973. Plating and testing probably would be introduced in 1968-9.
Earlier, Mr. Featherstone stated that of the three current major transport issues, education and training took precedence over taxation and braking/plating measures. Training managers was just as important as training craftsmen. The TRTA training course would be inaugurated at the Ealing technical college in two weeks' time and would be extended to other parts.
