BELATED RETURNS
There, weqe a number of further prosecutions in the Magistrate's Court yesterday, for failure- to furnish incometax returns. ■'■
; The Assistant Crown Solicitor (Mr. J. Tudhope) explained that he wanted to make it quite clear that there was no suggestion in most of these prosecutions of any intention to- evade the tax or refusal to pay.' However, the practice had grown up of waiting for default assessments. In the majority of cases it was only forgetfulness, but this hadcaused the Department a considerable" amount of trouble, and prosecutions were taking place all over tb,e country against those who had been late in furnishing their returns for a number of years.
Fines of fi's each were imposed on Dr. Sidney Hareourt Arthur and Maurice Archer. John Devery and Michael Eanron were each fined £3, and George William Luxton £2.
