FISH AND CHIPS
NO SALEB TAX PAYABLE. A judgment on fish and chips, by five Judges o-f the C-ommonwealth High Court, has given satisfaction in fish and chip emporiums,. On June 7 the five Judges decided that fish and chips are not "produced" or "manufactured" within the meaning of the Saies Tax Acts, an-d, therefore, are not' subject to saies tax. The issue arose on a demurrer which had been entered to a claim by the Federal Commissioner of Taxation against the ovvners of ia fish and oyster saloon, trading as G. J. Rochester, of Burwood, Sydney; claiming £269 as saies tax on fish and chips. Retailers of fish and -chips in- New South Wales have refused to pay saies- tax, con-ten-dmg that fish and chip-s are not manufactured or produced as defined by the Act.
