SHIPPING NEWS.
Merchant Salior's Income Tax
As there appears to have been some doubt as to when the new concession granted to merchant. seamen as regards income tax becomes operative, the secretary of the Imperial Merchant-Fervice Guild having received many inquiries on the matter, "has recently made inquiries from the Secretary of Inland Revenue, Journal of says the saye the Commerce" of September 15. The following reply has now been received:" With reference to your letter of the Srd instant, I am directed by the Board, of Inland Revenue to sequaict you that proviso (b) to Section 11 of the Finance Act, 1917, extends the special privites es as regarda income tax which are in force in the case of soldiers,, sailors, and certain other persons, to any person who during the current income tax year, (ie, the years beginning on the 6th April 1917) has served, or serves, for not:less than three months, as master or a member of the crew of any ship or fishing beat." From the wording of the Act quoted, it will be seen that the extension of the privileges does not affect any year before that now current.” It may be mentioned that this concession has been received with great gratification by marchart captains and officers, who have addressed many letters of con gratulation to the Guild on their.
success in obtaining it through the Parliamentary Committee. The matter, was first raised in the House of Commons in the. early part of last year by Mr. Basil B. Peto, M.P. the chairman of their Parliamentary Com mittee. At that time the Government did not see their way clear to accept the proposit- ion, but this year, when the matter was again raised by. Mr. Peto, the Chancellor of the Bxchequer stated that he intended to accept the amendment of which notice had been given by Mr. Peto. It means, therefore, that the officers of our merchant shipa now enjoy the same privileges in respect to reduced rates of income tax as in the case of officern serving in the Navy and Aimỳ. The Guild have been making Turther inquiries, and are now that the officially informed concession made is not retro- spective, but arplies to the current income tax year," that i, the beginning on the 6th April last year and it applies to those. who serve for not less than three months as master' or a member of the crew of any ship or Esbing' boat.
Japanese Government's Attitude on Shipping.
As mentioned recently, (says the "Japan Chronicle") it is expected that as the result of the breaking off of the negotiations with the American Government over the question of iron and tonnage, the Japanese authorities will modify their attitude in en- forcing the Wartime Shipping Control Law. Hitherto their at- titude has been practically pro- hibitive of the chartering or sale of Japanere vessels to foreigners and also of Japanese vessels. being operated between foreign waters, however bear Japan these may be. Even where permission was given, this was only after. lang delay. A noticeable charge, however, has now occurred in this. respect. Within two days in one case and three in the other of the date of application, the Government has granted permis- sion for the operating of the Watatsu-maru XIV. between Hongkong and Vladivostok, and of the Shunyo-maru (not the TKK. liner of the same name) between Canton, Hongkong, and
to the rupture of the Japan- American negotiations, simillar applications were practically shelved, if only temporarily, As a matter of fact, it was feared: that much complicated trouble would arise between the owner, charterers, and sub-charterers of the Shunyo-maru as a result of the Government's refusal to per mit or delay in permitting her being operated in the waters circumstance mentioned, which it was thought would be. cerala according to the proce- dents established since the pro mulgation of the Wartims-Chip- ping Control Law. This fear has now proved unfounded, thanks, 1 it is assumed, to the Japan- American negotiations having rendered it no longer necessary for the Japanese authorities to enforce the Bhipping Control Law „or rather, prohibitive- BO strictly, o 17, as has hitherto been done.
