| Administrative / biographical background: |
A permanent Board of Excise was established in 1683. In 1849 it was merged with the Board of Stamps and Taxes, who had managed railway passenger duty up to 1847, to form the Board of Inland Revenue. In 1909, the management of excise duties was merged with those of Customs under the Board of Customs and Excise. The Secretaries' Office was the administrative and executive organisation through which the Board of Customs and Excise discharged its functions. |
