WAGE TAX MAY FALL
LATE EDITION
PRIME MINISTER’S HOPE PROSPECT DURING' SUMMER MORE PRIVATE EMPLOYMENT. RELIEF OOF BOARD’S BURDEN. (By Telegraph—Press Association.} AUCKLAND, Sept. 2. The hope that a reduction of the wage tax would be possible was expressed by the Prime Minister, the Rt Hon. G. W. Forbes, in an interview to-day. He said it was expected that during the summer additional private employment would be available thus lightening the load on the unemployment fund. If that expectation was realised and additional employment was maintained the Government would be in a position to review the wage tax. There was nothing the Government was more anxious to do than to reduce the tax from a shilling because it is recognised it was a heavy tax and the sooner it was reduced the better it would be for the country.
