PARLIAMENT
VIEWS ON TAXATION POLICY
OPPOSITION ALLEGES ANOMALIES A feature of the debate, in the House of Representatives yesterday, on the taxation measures of the Government was a charge by the Opposition that the incidence of the new income tax schedule fell more heavily on those with the smaller-in-cornes than those higher up. This was denied by the Minister of Finance (Hon. W. Nash), who claimed that it was not what a person paid in tax that mattered but what he had left after paying it. The second reading of the Bills was passed at an unexpectedly early stage and the House went into Committee. The Legislative Council passed the Mortgagors and Lessees Rehabilitation Bill after two amendments had been rejected.
