TAXATION LEVEL IN AUSTRALIA
No Return To Pre-War (Received September 22, 7.30 p.m.) CANBERRA, September 22, Taxation would never fall to pre-war levels, said the Commonwealth Treasurer, Mr. Chifley, concluding the Budget debate in the House of Representatives after an all-nig’ht sitting. When taxation was eased he hoped -that the first relief would go to those with family responsibilities, because they were now carrying the heaviest burden of taxation. Mr. Chifley predicted a continuance of price controls after tile war. He added that lie would like to have seen many more contributors to the war loans, but Australia’s record in having filled its war loans without recourse to bank credit had been remarkable.
