| Additional Information | Excise are inland duties levied on articles at the time of their manufacture, notably alcoholic drinks but also including salt, paper and glass. In 1643 a Board of Excise was established by the Long Parliament to organize the collection of duties in London and the provinces. Excise duty was settled by statute in 1660. A permanent board of Excise for England and Wales was established in 1683 with separate boards for Ireland in 1682 and Scotland in 1707. |
