JOCKEY’S WINNINGS FROM BETS
APPEAL AGAINST TAX ASSESSMENT ALLOWED (New Zealand Press Association) NAPIER, June 18. The winnings of a jockey from bets on horses which he himself rides are not assessable for income tax as part of his normal income. This is established in a written judgment by Mr Justice Hay on an appeal heard at the last sitting of the Supreme Court in Napier. The appeal was by John Albert McFarlane, a jockey, against a decision given by Mr L. G. H. Sinclair, S.M., last September in favour of the Commissioner of Taxes. His Honour allowed the appeal with costs.
