P.A.Y.E.
Sir, —I would like an opinion on tHe tax I pay on my earnings. When P.A.YJS. was introduced my wife was workings and I completed my IRI2 form as “S” as did my wife. My wife commenced housekeeping duties five months ago, and I am still designated as “S” as I am informed I cannot alter my taxation Status until April 1, 1959. # My Rife’S earnings were £lBO and she has paid full P.A.Y.E. tax on this amount. Further. I understand I cannot get a refund of overpaid tax as I earn under £lO4O a year.—Yours, etc.* DISGRUNTLED.
January 15, 1959. [The District Commissioner of Taxes (Mr N. A. Rowntree) said that the correspondent, “Disgruntled,” should apply after March 31, and an adjustment wopld be made to allow him a partial exemption in respect of his wife. His case was one of the exceptions to the general rule that no adjustment was made in the case of a taxpayer earning less than £lO4O per annum.]
