Taxing of allowances
Sir, — What a pernicious fester the “perk” system has become in our society. Jealousies involve staff from the humblest of workers gathering a load of firewood in the boss’s time, with tools and truck, to others with the company’s car on a week-end with the name on the door covered with a plaster. On it goes, right up to the highest paid staff and directors where it operates at probably the most pernicious level, the jealousies often leading to a help-yourself attitude. As we indirectly pay for these perks, either as ratepayers or consumers, they are justifiably taxable. —Yours, etc., A. W. ERICSON. Akaroa. April 10, 1979.
