TAXATION BOARD
First Sitting Next Week
(From Our Own Reporter) WELLINGTON, March 31. The new Taxation Board of Review will begin work in Wellington on Wednesday It has secured offices in Shell House, on The Terrace, and will face a file of cases which have accrued since late last year. The chairman, Mr W. H Carson, S.M., who completed his magisterial duties on Thursday afternoon, said today that the board was not yet proposing to sit in other centres.
It was likely, however, that in tone, it might sit in Supreme Court centres. Australia had three such boards of review, but they sat only in State capitals. There is provision in law for further such boards in New Zealand. Hearings will be conducted in private, but the board, or its chairman, have discretionary authority to authorise publication of reports, similar to Court decisions which are handed down. This was unlikely to be done until the volume of work grew and principles had been established, Mr Carson said tonight
