It should be understood that the decisions contained herein may be revised from time to time in the light of further information which may be obtained by the Minister.

A person manufacturing taxable goods who satisfies the Collector that the total sale value of the taxable goods manufactured by him during the last financial year of his business did not exceed £500, and that the estimated value of the taxable goods likely to be manufactured by him during the current financial year is not expected to exceed that sum; provided that this exemption shall not apply to any person unless he is the holder of a certificate of exemption for the time being in force issued to him by the Collector of sales tax upon application made in a form to be supplied by the Collector.
For the purposes of this decision the sale value of goods manufactured shall in all cases be deemed to be the fair market value of such goods as if they were sold to a retailer in the ordinary course of business, and not the sale value as ascertained or determined in accordance with the proviso in paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of section 13 of the Act, or as determined in subsection (1) of section 3 of the Sales Tax Amendment Act, 1933.
