A TWOPENNY TAX
ON PUBLIC SERVICE SUPERANNUI-' TANTS’ VOUCHERS. One point raised at yesterday’s con-’ ference of superannuated public servants related to the practice of imposing a tax of 2d., in the form of a twopenny' stamp, when vouchers were obtained. A delegate quoted cases where annuitants had walked one or two sections in order, that they should have the twopence to pay for the stamp on their vouchers. Another delegate: There have been similar cases in Christchurch. ; Air. Dickie: If this tax was not made when we were in the service, why should we lx- taxed now when we cannot wellafford it? The president (Captain Barclay) quoted a case where an annuitant had, with. ■ the aid of a small business, brought his income up to just over .£3OO a year, and had been subjected to a tax. He wrote, to Mr. .Massey about the case, and re-' ceived a sympathetic reply, but —there were so many of these official "buts”— it was a very difficult matter indeed to, interfere with the incidence of taxation. That was tho trouble —there was so much of “this incipient taxation."
