TAX INSPECTORS
AT MILITARY CAMPS POSITION REGARDING INCOME (By TelegTapb.—Press Association) AUCKLAND, Wednesday While members of the Special Force are on Christmas leave, inspectors of the Income Tax Department have been at the Hopu Hopu camp and other camps checking rerecords of the men who are to serve overseas. It is explained that the inspection was purely a routine matter under regulations relating to persons who are going abroad. Men are not liable for income tax on their military earnings. No exemption has been announced on income earned prior to enlistment, or, indeed, on other income that is independent of military pay. It is reported, however, that demands for payment of assessed income tax were made upon some soldiers who left New Zealand a short time ago. In one instance a soldier was compelled to communicate with relatives and obtain the necessary funds to satisfy the demands of the Income Tax Department before he was permitted to leave the country on his military duty.
