INCOME TAX NOTICE.
TO GOVERNMENT OFFICERS.
All Government Officers are hereby
reminded that the latest date for the
submission of Income Tax Returns for
assessment in the year 1956 is the 31st
January, and that failure to give notice

person concerned liable on conviction
to a fine not exceeding FOUR HUNDRED

accruing in, derived from the Colony

Colony or not for the preceding year,
exceeded the statutory limit of $480 is

include not only money but also allow-
ances in kind.
3. Efforts are being made to send
blank return forms to such persons
through their Heads of Departments. It
is to be clearly understood, however, that

one and that a person is not exonerated
from the statutory liability of making a
return even though a form may not have
been received from the Department.
Forms may be obtained, on application,
at the Revenue Offices at Georgetown,
