1916 (7 May), The Second IssueThis issue was typewritten on unwatermarked pale green paper with horizontal grey lines; each stamp was initialled in red ink.

Three plates were produced: Plate 1, sheet of 12 stamps; Plate 2, sheet of 16 stamps; Plate 2a, sheet of 12 stamps. The major varieties were as follows:

a) “G.R.I.” double Plate 2a, Pos. 10, 11 and 12b) “7” for “&” Plate 1, Pos. unknownc) “L” in frame at upper left Plate 2a, Pos. 9

On the typewriter, “7” and the ampersand shared a key, while the “L” key was next to the colon key.

A total of 140 stamps in all were made up of ½d. stamps in black, in blue and in mauve. However, it is understood that a largequantity of both this issue and of the third and fourth issues in a stockbook was part of a stock stored in the Chancery Lane Deposit

which received a direct hit during the Second World War. Although one or two were rebacked, almost all of the stamps on thin paperwere beyond salvage and they are considered to have been destroyed

Twopence Halfpenny Value

One plate was produced: Plate I consisting of 20 stamps. This value, of both third and fourth issues, differs from the other typewrittenstamps in that the frames consist of dashes and stops instead of colons. The top and bottom frames consist of fifteen dashes while the

vertical frame lines at left and right usually consist of eight stops. Paper slippage during typing caused height variations in the bottomrow; the first four rows are of normal height, 38-39mm., but the four stamps in the bottom row are 42-43 mm. in height and this

gave rise to the major varieties which were as follows:

a) 8 stops at left, 9 stops at right Plate 1, Pos. 17b) 9 stops at both sides Plate 1, Pos. 18

Plate 1, Pos. 19c) 10 stops at both sides Plate 1, Pos. 20

1916 (7 May), The Fourth IssueThis issue was typewritten on thin wove unwatermarked transfer paper cut from a folio letter-copying book. As this paper did not

take ink, all sheets, with the exception of one black carbon sheet of the 2d. value from Plate 1, were initialled in black indelible pencil. The exceptional sheet was initialled in red ink; it is listed by Stanley Gibbons as S.G. 30c. This entire issue, perhaps even

more so than is the case with the previous issue, is on extremely flimsy paper, many creases are to be expected. They consist of pre-typing paper creases, production paper creases and post-production creases

Halfpenny Value

One plate was produced; Plate 6 consisting of 24 stamps. Paper slippage caused the stamps of the bottom row to be 42-43mm. high insteadof the usual 38-39mm. Each of these four stamps has ten colons in the frame at either side instead of the usual nine. On the second stampin the bottom row, a lower case “r” was typed in error and an upper case “R” was typed over the top of it. The major varieties were:

a) Large and small “R” in “Revenue”, 10 colons at both sides Plate 6, Pos. 22b) 10 colons at both sides Plate 6, Pos. 21

Plate 6, Pos. 23Plate 6, Pos. 24

A total of 144 stamps in all were produced made up of ½d. stamps in black top impressions, in black carbon copies, in blue, and in mauve. 30 remainders were destroyed. A distinction has to be made between top impressions and black carbon copies

and they are treated as two separate stamps

Value Added Tax (VAT)

Charging of (VAT) at Auction

The information shown on this page sets out the way in which Spink intends toaccount for VAT.

i. Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme

1. Where possible, we will offer Lots for sale under the Auctioneers’Margin Scheme. Such Lots can be identified by the absence of anyVAT symbol next to the Lot number in the catalogue and will not besubject to VAT on the Hammer Price.

2. Where Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme to UKVAT–registered businesses, the VAT on Buyers’ Premium is notrecoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day, we will issueinvoices that show VAT separately on both the Hammer Price andthe Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registered businesses torecover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to the normal rules forrecovering input tax.

ii. Zero-Rated Lots

Limited Categories of goods, such as books, are Zero-rated (o) for VAT inthe United Kingdom. Such Lots are offered under the Auctioneers’ MarginScheme. In these circumstances no VAT will be added to the Buyer’spremium.

iii. Daggered Lots

Lots which are Daggered (†) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 20%on both the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium.

iv. Imported and Omega Lots

Lots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 5% onthe Hammer price plus 20% on the Buyer’s premium. Lots which bear theOmega symbol (Ω) are subject to VAT at 20% on the Hammer Price andon the Buyer’s Premium. This VAT is payable on items imported fromoutside the EU. In these cases we have used a temporary importationprocedure, which in effect means that the point of importation is deferreduntil the Lot has been sold. At this point the Buyer is treated as theimporter and is liable to pay the import VAT due. We will collect the VATfrom you and pay it to HM Customs and Excise on your behalf.

v. Investment Gold Lots

Lots marked (g) in the catalogue are exempt from VAT on the HammerPrice and are subject to VAT at 20% on the Buyer’s Premium. A refund ofVAT charged on the Buyer’s Premium can also be made on receipt of proofof business as a collectibles dealer outside of the EU.
