RETURNS OF LAND DUE

Furnishing a return of land is an annual duty imposed by law upon all landowners who at noon on the 31st March hold land of an unimproved value according to the Government valuation in excess of £5OO. The unimproved value is the value of the land exclusive of buildings, fencing, and other improvements. The form of return has been made as simple as it is possible to make it. Forms are obtainable at all post-offices. Details of the land held at the 31st March, 1935, should be entered in Part 3 of the form. Under Part 1 particulars of registered mortgages and unpaid purchase-money should be shown each year irrespective of whether any change has taken place or not. The return should be completed and returned to the Commissioner of Taxes, Wellington, C.l, on or before the 9th ApriL Any person neglecting to furnish a return is liable to a penalty not exceeding £lOO.
