The registration branch is according. I lj r compiling a defaulters' list and t is the intention of the Commissioner of Taxes 'to take action under section 110. which provides that persons who fail to register during the month following tlie required date have com. niitted an offence and are therefore liable on conviction to a fine of E5. As there will .still be time for defaulters to register before the commissioner can take action, it is probable most of those who have not registered will do so and avoid appearing on the defaulters' list.
