P/Pensions 584.
Hong Kong, A.T.Walker deceased
Gentlemen,
•
alam
I am acting for the Widow of the above named
deceased, for the purpose of obtaining probate of his
Will.
By your letter of the 8th ult. you notified
my client, of the issue of the pension to her of £109
per annum, from the Widows and Orphans Fund of Hong
Kong.
For the purpose of ascertaining whether or
not, death duties are payable in respect of this pension,
I should be glad if you will inform me whether the
fund is contributed to by the civil servant during his
life time, in whole or in part, and any other
information you can give me which will be likely to, be
required by the Inland Revenue Authorities.
If you can give me any authority for stating
that the pension is or is not-liable to death duties,
I shall be extremely obliged.
I am &c.
&Sd) Trevor C.Newman.
