EMERGENCY UNEMPLOYMENT CHARGE
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir, —In your issue of August 25 you published the contents of a circular from the unemployment commissioner which is intended to be a guide to those who are liable under the emergency unemployment charge. Am I correct in assuming that the information contained in the circular relating to superannuation payments from funds created by Act of Parliament is intended to mean that a superannuated Government servant is not liable to the emergency _ unemployment charge unless his total income (with exemptions) exceeds £250 per year?—l am, etc., August 31. Prospector. [Superannuation payments are not liable to the tax on wages and salaries, but are taxable as income. Under the Budget proposals, which have not yet become law. tax will be payable on incomes of £2OO and over (subject to concessions). At the present time incomes below £3OO are exempted from taxation.— Ed. O.D.T.]
