Proposed tax plan includes duties on coal and malt
A committee outlines duties on exported coal, additional malt per bushel by region, a 5 percent general tax, a 25 percent salt and falt levy, stamp duties on legacies and admin receipts, and a tea dealer licence, aiming to raise funds amid parliamentary opposition and petitions. The plan promises revenue but faces concerns over impact on Newcastle trade and consumer prices.
