REMINDER TO TAXPAYERS
****
SALARIES AND PROFITS TAX PAYERS ARE URGED TO CHECK THEIR DEMAND NOTES TO ENSURE THAT THE FIRST INSTALMENT OF THE TAX DUE IS PAID ON OR BEFORE THE SPECIFIED DUE DATE.
IF THE FIRST INSTALMENT IS NOT SO PAID, THE SECOND INSTALMENT WILL AUTOMATICALLY BECOME DUE IMMEDIATELY, A SPOKESMAN FOR THE INLAND REVENUE DEPARTMENT SAID TODAY.
THIS WILL BE STRICTLY APPLIED AND PLEAS FOR OVERSIGHT WILL NOT BE ENTERTAINED, HE SAID.
IN ADDITION TO BOTH INSTALMENTS BECOMING IMMEDIATELY PAYABLE TOGETHER, WHERE TAX IS NOT PAID BY THE DATE SPECIFIED IN THE NOTICE THE COMMISSIONER OF INLAND REVENUE MAY ORDER A SURCHARGE NOT EXCEEDING FIVE PER CENT OF THE TOTAL TAX. THIS WILL ALSO BE IMMEDIATELY DUE FOR PAYMENT.
THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLE ILLUSTRATES HOW THE ARRANGEMENTS WILL OPERATE :

IF $17 000 IS PAID ON 5.1.81, THE SECOND INSTALMENT OF $5 000 IS PAYABLE ON OR BEFORE 5.4.81.
IF $17 000 IS NOT PAID BY 5.1.81, THE WHOLE AMOUNT OF $22 000 PLUS A SURCHARGE OF $1 100, TOTAL $23 100, IS IN DEFAULT AND
