SOLDIERS AND INCOME-TAX.

If a reservist enters camp at the end of this year, will lie he liable in January to pay income tax for the year ended March 31, 1918? And will the Financial Assistance Board assist a man to meet this liability? The official reply is that the income tax will he legally payable and that the Financial Assistance : Board cannot grant any .assistance, since i the tax will be a past obligation. But the Commissioner for Taxes has power to grant :a reduction or remission of taxation, : and application should be made to him in cases of hardship. Remissions have been granted already in cases where it would involve hardship for a soldier or his wife to pay income tax assessed on pre-enlistment earnings.
