REVISION OF LAND AND INCOME TAX
- USE OF REPORT OF SIM COMMISSION RECOMMENDED WELLINGTON, October 20. Interviewed today on the proposed amendments to the Land and Income Tax Act the Dominion secretary of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union (Mr A. P. O’Shea) said that a great amount of work would be saved the Government’s special committee for revising the land and income tax if it made use of the report of the Sim Taxation Commission. The recommendations of this commission had the support of the Farmers’ Union. The statement which the union recently put forward on land and income tax was much in tune with the commission’s recommendations. There was no question, he said, that the imposition of the land tax was making it difficult for partnerships, which in rough country, particularly in the North Island, were necessary for the economic working of farms. Both the land, income and company tax should be abolished.
