RETURNS OF INCOME
NO FORMS COMPLETED AUCKLAND PROSECUTIONS (By Telegraph.—Press Association) AUCKLAND, Friday Harold Grey Keane, company manager, and Roy McDonald, commercial traveller, each pleaded guilty in the Police Court today to four charges of failing to make returns of income. Prosecuting for the Commissioner, Mr G. S. Meredith said that Keane had not furnished a return since 1930, while McDonald had never put in a return. “These men, who are the principal shareholders i*n a company, have been paying income tax on default assessments,” said Mr Meredith. “Requests made by the department have neither been acknowledged nor complied with.” He pressed for a substantial penalty, stating that the maximum was £IOO on each of the four charges. Defending counsel, Mr Wilson, said defendants had been foolish but had paid on substantial default assessments. On each of the four charges each defendant was fined £ls, plus £2 2s solicitor’s fee on each information.
