- Memorial of Charles Lutwidge on Isle of Man Revenue difficulties and proposed solutions
- Description
- A memorial submitted to the Treasury Lords by Charles Lutwidge in 1768 addressing revenue shortfalls from the 1765 Act regulating Isle of Man trade. Lutwidge explains why the proposed duties on spirits, tea, coffee, and tobacco have failed to generate expected income, citing pre-purchase stockpiling and competition from lower Irish tea duties. He proposes export permissions for spirits and reduced tea duties to revive the revenue fund and prevent smuggling.
