Camera Sales
Sir, —"Tellus" should note that I did not say ‘‘there are many new camera shops' nor did I compose my letter on that angle. As a taxpayer I would be interested in a 50 per cent customs and 20 per cent sales tax being added to new cameras being brought in by returning New Zealanders. It would help to keep down the cost of taxation or help to provide further amenities we think we need.—Yours, etc., FAIR May 11, 1961. Sir, —A world-wide trading firm operating in New Zealand sells for £l5 a 150-watt Japanese-made projector that sells in Hong Kong for £3. If these projectors were allowed in free of tax and customs duty, what then would be their price? If the Japanese take our ewe mutton is it not fair trading to let their projectors come in free of taxes so that the art of photography in the modern manner be made available to those on the lower income bracket?— Yours, etc., NATIONAL VOTER. May 11. 1960. [This correspondence may now cease.—Ed., “The Press."!
