BOARDING GRANTS
Farmers Seek Increase
i To assist families living in remote areas, the South Island high-country sub-section of Federated Farmers want boarding allowances increased and additional facilities provided at schools. At the annual conference of the sub-sections at Timaru yesterday Mr M. R. Murchison, of Lake Coleridge, said that ias the Government was implementing a policy of centralisation of education it should give more practical assistance to those away from the central areas.
Mr T. K. Lawson, of the Farm Accounting Association, said that the cost of transport of employees’ children was deductible for taxation, but this did not apply to the farmer’s own children. Similarly, an employer who helped to send an employee’s children to board at a school was allowed to deduct for taxation up to £75 a year a child, with a maximum of £225. Again, Mr Lawson said, this did not apply where the relationship between employer and employee was close —where, for instance, the children were the grandchildren of the employer.
