HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
The Standing Law Committee suggests a new paragraph at the end. This paragraph reads "(7) Appeals from decisions of the Supreme Court under this section shall be governed by the provisions of the Supreme Court Ordinance, 1873, the Code of Civil Procedure, the Full Court Ordinance, 1933, and the Orders and Rules governing appeals to the Privy Council."
Clause 60.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.-I move that this clause be re- numbered as clause 61 and a new clause be inserted as number 60, The new Clause reads: "60. Taxes under this Ordinance shall, subject to the provisions of this Ordinance and notwithstanding anything contained in any other written law or in any convention grant or agreement, be charged at the rates specified in Chapters II, III and IV for the year of assessment commencing on the first day of April, 1940, and for each subsequent year of assessment in respect of the property, income and profits of every person for the year preceding the year of assessment, but without prejudice to any provisions of this Ordinance which enact that tax is to be charged in particular cases in respect of property, income and profits for a period other than the year preceding the year of assessment," and was suggested by the Standing Law Committee.
The marginal note for this clause will read "Incidence of taxes under this Ordinance."
Upon Council resuming,
THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY reported that the War Revenue Bill had passed through Committee with certain amendments which he submitted were material, and moved that the Bill, as amended, be published in the Government Gazette before being read a third time.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.-That is in accordance with Standing Orders, and I beg to second the motion. I will endeavour to get the amended Bill published in to-morrow's Gazette.
The motion was carried.
