Taxation
Sir.—How typical of "Accountant” to blame that universal Aunt Sally, the In-
land Revenue Department, for his own and his clients' shortcomings. If he deserved his nom-de-plume he would be able to produce any of the past year's receipts at a moment’s notice. All other exemptions are capable of quick and easy verification by the Income Tax Department if necessary. In the case of the donation exemption. some taxpayers are claiming upwards of 12 separate donations. It is unreasonable to expect the Government to supply the hundreds of man-hours complained of by “Accountant” to do something for the benefit of the individual taxpayer which the most elementary of filing systems would enable the taxpayer to do for himself with very little extra effort. —Yours, etc.,
FABIAN. September 10, 1963.
