The plan, raised to the Federal Treasurer via Mr Leslie, would allow credits against future tax payments, with invoices later used to claim deductions. A separate query calls for an increase in the 15 shillings weekly annuity for keeping employees, noting costs have risen and current allowances lag behind industry standards as shown by recent shearing industry awards.
