BANK DIVIDENDS AND INCOME-TAX.

(Contributed to L. & C. Express.).

The subjomed circular note addressed by the bank to the shareholders on the China register, drawing dividends in London, tiny appear of small import to the proprietors in general, but in reality it is of momentous concern to all China shareholders, inasmuch as, vird bis the London holders, it virtually outlaws those on the Eastern register by denying them the rights and immunities enjoyed by the privileged London group as will be shown hereunder.

The circular rends as follows

To meet any obstruction and to hasten the proceedings, the German Reichstag has decided to take notes in writing in future. A closer,. con- nection between the Government and the majority in the l'eichstag is evident, but it is doubtful whether this is strong enough to carry the Customs Tariff' Law,

On a large Ho gkong shareholder protes - ing against this differential treatment of those" on the Eastern registers, it only elicited an evasive reply from the Londin office. The answer stated that the bank could not arrange for dividends (received in London)on its shares

on Hongkong register to be paid free of in- come-tax as there is no such tax ley ed there"! That information was quite unnecessary; but it would have been correct to state that, in directly, the bank itself imposed incon-c-tax on the China shareholders by withdrawing from the prunts of the corporation over $100,070, or say $2.50 per share on the 49,000 held in China, to defray the income-tax of the London share holders, instead of increasing the dividends of the Eastern shareholders by that sum.

The reply further alleged that the large majority of shareholders registered in the East are resident in hina, and, as such, are domiciled in England must be so inconsider not affected by this question; ergo those able in number that surely the bank ought to be able to place them on the same fouting, as regards income tax, with the London holder, instead of outlawing them by indirectly levying a contribution from profits for the sole benefit of the London group, besides deducting an where paid in England-a procedure alike income-tax of 6 per cent, front their dividends

MARITÈ BOARD INQUIRIES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE "HONGKONG TELEGRAPU." Dear Sir, shall esteem it a favour if you will give me an opportunity to draw atten- tion to the revised instructions recently issued by the Board of Trade to Shipping Superinten- dents, for they are not only calculated to lead to gross abuses but seem to reflect on our

employers and friends, the British, shipowners,

in a very unfair and unnecessary manner...

I find it stated in a recent number of the Mercantile Marine Service Reporter, of Liver- pool, that three items of the "instructions" read as follows:

Presumably every British shareholder on the China register expects to return home. It will bus be apparent that this question of the differential treatpient of receivers of dividends is of vill importance to all holders in China of bank shares; and after reading these remarks the inequitable procedure of the Iondon office, it is hoped the Eastern owners of shares will combine in protesting against being out lawed from participating in the rights and privileges, enjoyed, at their expense, by the London shareholders.
