TAXATION OF AGED PERSONS
Sir,—l most certainly agree with *Allgo” that aged persons over 60 years of age should not be taxed if they continue to work. If married, they not only save the State £2OB per annum, but they also help to relieve the shortage of manpower, which the Government is continually crying about on every occasion. What incentive is there for a man to continue work if he; can down tools and draw £4 a Week for him and his wife for the rest of their lives? I will go further than ‘‘Allgo” and say it is a matter’ that should be taken up by the trade unions and not just get a promise from a candidate for Parliament that he agrees with the idea to have the tax abolished. —Yours, etc..' ANOTHER WORKER. May, 6, 1947.
