TAX ON BACHELORS URGED
FRESH SOURCES OF REVENUE AUCKLAND BUSINESSMEN’S VIEWS OBLIGATIONS OF YOUNG MEN By Telegraph.—Press Association. ! Auckland, September 25. A tax on bachelors is favoured by the council of the Auckland Chamber of Commerce, which to-day adopted a resolution that in view of the reduced profits of business and consequent reduced income tax returns, the Government be urged to give serious consideration to the possibility of widening the field of income tax by the imposition of this tax on bachelors over the age of 21, provision to be made for rebates in case of hardships. The mover of the motion said there were thousands of single men with no obligations earning over £2OO, aqd they should be bearing some of the burden. Another member said it was evident that in the coming year the Government would have to find fresh sources of revenue.
