Wage Tax Fronts Undercut by Advance Assessments
In Cessnock the Unemployment Relief Tax Assessments alarm locals. The tax charges 1 3d in the pound till December 31 and six months in advance at 1 shilling in the pound. Income basis uses returns to June 30, 1930, with payments due by February 16 though the period ends in June. The method provokes indignation and legal counsel is being consulted.
Taxed for the Nation A Taxpayers' Protest Emerges
Mr. Drummond, MLA and former Education Minister, argues taxation exposes government finance as sourced from every citizen. He cites 74d unemployment tax on incomes and 1d in the pound on wages as hardship for traders and farmers, while workers wake to the costs of tea, tobacco, and newspapers. He predicts a taxpayers party promoting sane government, thrift, and broad participation across society.
