Reduction in Wages Tax The Commissioner of Taxes draws the attention of all employers to the notice appearing in to-day's issue regarding the date from which the reduction in the rate of wages tax takes effect. The National Security Tax Abolition Regulations, 1947, provide that National Security Tax shall not be payable with respect to salaries and wages derived in respect of any period after April 20, 1947. This also applies to any other incomo from which tax is deductible at the source in the same manner as for salaries and wages. The wages tax payable will, therefore, be reduced from the rate of one penny in every tenpence (2s in £) to one penny in every thirteen and one-third pence (Is 6d in £). Biidge Under IWpair
