CERTIFYING OFFICER’S STATEMENT.

.In connection with the above subject and the letter signed “K.R.,” Air W. H. ’Cadwallader, the local certifying officer for the Unemployment Board, advised that the Unemployment Amendment Act, 1934, Section 5, provides, inter alia : “5. (1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, every woman ordinarily resident in New Zealand who for the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1935, or the corresponding date in any year thereafter, has derived income from any source other than salary or wages (whether such income is derived from New Zealand or elsewhere) shall be liable in respect of so much of that income as exceeds fifty pounds for the emergency unemployment charge computed at the rate for the time being prescribed in accordance with section eight of the Unemployment Amendment Act, 1932. This section applies to Native women to the same extent as it applies to other women.” ” - The foregoing provision of the Act referred to, he states, is subject to various conditions under which the class of taxpayer referred to is, or may be. exempted from payment, an explanation of which would take up a very great deal of space. Full particulars of the exemption conditions may be obtained from the office of .the Department of Labour.
