Absolutely no idea Blair.
I can only guess, and the name of the stamp tends to cloud the issue. It appears to be a general tax Instalment levied on the States although at this stage, I cannot find any covering Legislation notes in this regard. Here are the WA Licence fees, that cover the rates paid on income. http://cjoint.com/data/jbbVngKdJV.htm Another group of posers are the Australian Customs Stamps Our Philatelic club is having an exhibit in November on these, I am eager to see the display. http://cjoint.com/data/jbb3pkMGJb.htm "Blair" wrote in message ...

It must have been on hose folk to pay an additional tax while coping with their own financial and job related problems in that era. I assumed it was to support state relief efforts or supplement the decrease in state revenues due to decreased income to tax. So my question should probably be refined to "what was this tax applied to? " (eg possibly stock transfers etc aimed mainly at those who still had money or something similar) Blair |

"6. Deduction of Financial Emergency Tax from salary or wages of employees to cease after commencement of this Act In the event of this Act coming into operation on a day when, under any laws of the State relating to the imposition, levying, assessment and collection of financial emergency tax provision is made and in operation for the deduction of financial emergency tax from the salary or wages of employees then, notwithstanding the said laws, as from and including the day when this Act comes into operation as aforesaid, the provisions of the said laws relating to the deduction of financial emergency tax from the salary and wages of employees shall by virtue of this section cease to operate and have effect in so far as relates to salary or wages earned by such employees after the said date, and thereafter no deduction of financial emergency tax under the said laws shall be made from the said salary or wages of such employees, and no financial emergency tax shall be payable by such employees in respect of such salary or wages." Until WWII, both the States and the Commonwealth levied income tax, with the Commonwealth being given first bite at the cherry under the Constitution. During WWII, as a temporary measure (hollow laughter), the Commonwealth took over from the States the job of levying income tax, and no State premier has had the nerve to reintroduce one since. (Although a Victorian Opposition leader years ago ruminated publicly about doing so. Political suicide, of course.) In case anyone's curious, www.austlii.edu.au is a wonderful repository of Australian laws and regulations, past and present. Tony of the Antipathies |
