UNEMPLOYMENT TAX
INCOME RETURNS TO BE MADE. A NEW OBLIGATION. Returns of income are to be required under the Unemployment Amendment Act, 1931, and declarations regarding earnings during the year ended March 31 last must be made on a special form not later than November 30 next. This procedure is designed particularly to facilitate the collection of unemployment emergency charges from professional persons and others . not paying the tax of 3d in the £ on regular wages and salaries.
All men, except those wholly exempt from liability for the general unemployment levy, must make a return even when there is no income apart from salary or wages. Women receiving £250 a year or more, including wages, must make returns.
Two special forms have been printed to cover this new obligation. Where wages have been the only source of income, the individual simply makes a declaration to this effect. When income is derived from a profession or business, including farming activities, there are particular questions to answer. One must also declare any income from dividends, rents, pensions, or other sources. The procedure and conditions to be followed were the subject of a special Gazette issued on Saturday.
