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.

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.

Thanks Tony:

I had not heard of any other country / state having such stamps,
even though the Depression hit the whole world. 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, found what appears to be the solution in the Western Australian
Income Tax Assessment Act of 1937 - Notes (now repealed, praise be!)

"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.

Thanks Tony. Income Tax in Canada was a "temporary"
measure to pay for WWI, I believe. Of course, were still
paying. We have a lot in common.
