OVERSEAS PASSENGER DUTY
Minister’s Explanation An explanation of the clause in the Finance Bill dealing with overseas passenger duty was given by the Minister of Finance, Hon. W. Nash, during his speech on the- second reading of the Bill in the House of Representatives last night. “In the past,” said the Minister, “a person buying a return or single ticket from New Zealand to Great Britain has been charged duty on the full fare. If passengers wish to travel to Sydney by steamer and then across Australia by land, sailing again from Western Australia. there has been some confusion as to whether they should be subject to passenger duty for the part of the journey covered on land. The provision in this Bill removes any misunderstanding. If a person wants a ticket from New Zealand to any port in Europe, he must pay duty on half the return fare, no matter which way he goaa.”
