362a. In any cases in which money has been voted by Parliament for specially named Colonial Services, documentary evidence must be fur- nished that the money has been applied to the particular Service for which it was voted. On this point special instructions will be given to the Governors concerned.

863. When Salaries are specified in the Parliamentary Votes, Income Tax will be levied on them, under the General Rules laid down in Paragraphs 365 to 368 of the Regulations.

3634. When Salaries are not specified in the Parliamentary Grants, it is undesirable that Bills should be drawn for the actual Salaries of the Governor or other Colonial Officers. The Secretary of State will, however, be prepared to consider any special circumstances under which a departure from this rule may be desired. It will

be proper as a general practice that the Governor should draw for round sums as Imprests on account of the Parliamentary Grant-in-Aid, which Imprests should of course, be carried to the credit of the Colonial Revenue. From that Revenue, Salaries, not specified in the Parlia mentary Grant should be paid without any deduction on account of the Imperial Income Tax.

364. Governors and other Officers whose Salaries are specified in the Parliamentary Votes, and who may elect to have their Salaries paid through the medium of Agents in this country, can continue so to do. In lieu, however, of the Life Certificates hitherto used, a formal order on the Paymaster-General must be obtained by the Agents from this Department. When Governors and Lieutenant-Governors or Administrators shall, in the first instance, have signified the mode in which their salary shall be drawn, it will be desirable that they should adhere to that mode.

365. All salaries and personal allowances and emoluments, and all pensions and superannua- tions, retired or compassionate allowances, paid from funds derived from the revenues of Great Britain, whether provided by special Parlia- mentary Grant or otherwise, are liable to the Income Tax unless the whole annual income of the recipient so derived is such as to entitie him
