INCORRECT INCOME RETURNS.
HEAVY FINES INFLICTED. Christchurch, March 3. Sydney Hugh Gardiner, farmer of Amberley, pleaded guilty at the Magistrate’s Court to-day to making false or negligent income tax returns. The solicitor for the department said that the deficiency over the last four years was £697 12/9. At the end of 1922 he was worth £II,OOO. Counsel for Gardiner said that he made up his own returns and was unacquainted with bookkeeping. The Magistrate said Gardiner had been cheating and had increased his capital from £2,000 four years ago to £II,OOO. He could not imagine a much worse case. He inflicted fines of £IOO in each of two cases and £SO in each of two others, a total of £3OO.
