INCOME DECLARATIONS

And Payment of Levy SIMULTANEOUS DUTIES. In the Unemployment Amendment Act, 1932, it is provided that the dates for making declarations regarding income shall be identical with those upon which the unemployment levy becomes due. Thiq provision simplifies the process of complying with the law' by enabling those concerned to pay the levy and declare their incomes (other than salary or w y ages) at the same time. The making of the declaration will enable a decision to be reached quickly and accurately whether a tax is payable; in a large number of instances ’ there may be no liability, , and in these cases a declaration will ensure that the persons concerned will haveno further responsibility with respect to that quarter’s tax. Declaration forms are provided at all Money Order Offices, and postal officials will give every assistance and information to the public who desire to make a return of income. The next instalment of the unemployment levy becomes due on Ist May. and when paying it the declaration of income should also be signed. An important point to remember is that it is optional whether the declaration of income is made at a post office or to the Income Tax Commissioner; but if a return of income has been made to the latter official it is essential that a declaration that this has been done shall be made at the post office —it is not necessary to make two declarations of income.
