(To the Editor.)
Sir,—Having just arrived from the country and wishing to take up domes-tic-work in private households, I am told that we are to be taxed ls in the £, plus board allowance. Would you please tell me if this is true? As we work longer hours than most it seems unfair—who is responsible?—l am, etc., DOMESTIC. [The Social Security contribution of ls in the £ will be payable by domestic workers. They are riot exempt as they were from the unemployment tax. The Social Security Act also states that tlie value of board and lodging, use of a house, or other such I allowances in kind, received in respect of employment, are also subject to the charge.—Ed.]
