RETURNS OF INCOME
V ONUS ON TAXPAYER DUNEDIN PROSECUTIONS Press Association DUNEDIN, Friday. The duty of taxpayers to furnish their own returns of land and income instead of waiting for the Commissioner of Taxes to make a default assessment and collect the money, was exemplified in the %Poliee Court this morning, when Archibald Aitehison W’as fined £2, costs 10s, and Crown solicitor’s fee £3 3s, on a charge of failing to furnish a return of income. Robert Walter Johnston and Parker and Lawson, Limited, were each fined £2, costs 10s, and solicitor’s fee £2 2s. The magistrate said he had no option, since the offence was proved, but to convict defendants. He w'ould impose the minimum penalty in each case. The Taxation Department had laid itself open to cases of this kind through not giving warning of its intention to prosecute in cases of failure to make returns.
