FILM STARS’ INCOME
ENGLISH TAX PAYMENT Evasion by Foreigners INVADERS EARN £130,000 ißy Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Received 19, l.p p.m.) LONDON, June 18, Front-rank foreign film personalities who recently landed in England, of whom 30 came to work, will earn at least £130,000 in the summer, ranging from George Arliss, £22,000 per film, downwards. Income tax is demanding 4/6 in the pound on their earnings in England, plus surtax, to which the stars strongly object, pointing out that they already pay 8 per cent, on their earnings in California. Some of tho stars are trying to overcome the difficulty by announcing that they arc not receiving salaries in England, only their travelling and hotel expanses for the tour, their real salary being paid into a foreign bank by a foreign employer, but the income tax authorities are likely to bring a test ease to counter the evasion.
