ABOLITION OF TAX ON URBAN LAND
URGED BY BUSINESS MEN (Special to THE BUN.J CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. Speakers at the annual conference of the Associated Chambers of Commerce to-day favoured the abolition of the graduated tax on urban land. Mr. H. P. Caughey, Auckland, moved the following remit, which was carried: “That this conference is of opinion that should the Government not accept at once the recommendations of the Royal Commission of 1924-on the subject of land tax, the Government should immediately give its favourable consideration to the following proposals :
“(a) That the present system of graduated land tax on urban properties should be abolished. “(b) That the assessing of land tax against lessees and occupiers as distinct from owners, being unjust, should be abolished.”
