TAXATION
Sir,—“The Press” to-day announces the arrival in New Zealand of Prince Nibadh Kiskul, head of Siam’s Taxation Department. Inter alia, he said that “his main concern was in finding the various methods used in actually obtaining income tax payments.” He has been fortunate in coming to New Zealand, as he will find our system so comprehensive that he will get the last razoo out of his subjects with the minimum amount of trouble. Could I suggest some activities that could pe taxed—beer,. spirits, wines, tobacco, amusements, racing, wages, income, sales, land, company, dog. poultry, petrol car. truck, and bus taxes; driving, footing, fishing, and radio licences; import, export, stamp, cheque, receipt and transfer duties. Should the taxpayer leave anything to his children when he dies the Prince can take a big whack out of that, too, on the assumption that he has accumulated more than his share of this world's goods.—Yours, etc., WAIKAKAHI. April 11. 1951.
