PAYING DRESSMAKERS
WORK IN PRIVATE HOMES LIABLE FOR WAGES TAX [by telecraph OWN correspondent] NEW PLYMOUTH. Wednesday The difficulty of detecting cases of failure by employers to affix wages stamps under the Unemployment Act has been referred to by Mr. W. H. Woodward, S."M., and this is confirmed by Mr. C. P. Smith, officer in charge of the Labour Department. A number of people had been under the impression that the tax was not payable on wages paid to dressmakers who were employed casually by the day in private homes, this being looked upon as domestic work, and the wages ot domestics are not taxable. The matter was submitted to the Unemployment Board, which has declared that wages paid to part-time or casual employees, whether on a time or piecework basis, are taxable by the employer at the time of payment. Thus wages or salary paid to dressmakers employed in private homes arc subject to tax.
