TAXATION

COMPLAINT BY FARMERS. (BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION.; WELLINGTON, July 30. The Prime Minister was asked by the Farmers' Union to free 1 sinners from the double impost of land and !• income tax. Mr Massey replied tnat I this matter was of great importance, j "I want to reduce land and income I tax as soon as it is possible to do it," he replied. "I want to get back to where we were before the war—not! possibly so much as to amount, but to! the position where the producers paid one tax only, the land tax." Mr Massey knew that the farmers | had practically during the last year J been faced with a levy on capital. Tax-j ation had been paid remarkably well, I although there were still some very! ] large arrears awaiting collection when! ! things improved. He could not say how much the reduction he was seeking would be, butt he was going to do his best. The rebate system had perhaps been a roundabout way, but it had helped many a man to make ends meet. Touching on markets Mr Massey said New Zealand would have to strive hard to retain hers, and hoped freights would be reduced. If ships were to be purchased the producers would have to find nearly all the , money.
