PRIMAGE DUTY REMOVED
FOODS AND FERTILISERS TAX TO BE LIFTED ON MONDAY Press Association WELLINGTON, Friday. Certain foodstuffs and fertilisers will be relieved as from Monday next oi: the additional 1 per cent, primage duty that was imposed on all- imports by the Government last session. Thi i exemption is provided for in the Customs Amendment Act, 1929, but it is left to the Government to determine when the general removal of the extra duty shall take place. The Prime Minister, Sir Joseph Ward, promised the House of Representatives that the additional duty would be removed from all imported commodities when the position of the country’s finances permitted, and it is expected that an early announcement of the Government’s intentions in this respect will be made within a fortnight, when the Minister of Finance will know definitely whether his forecast of a small surplus on the year’s working was accurate.
