Nevertheless, most significant point made during the debate was His Excellency's forecast that it would be necessary still further to revise the taxation basis in order to obtain the fullest results, and, he broadly hinted that the adoption of in- come tax, together with excess profits tax in place of the exist- ing taxes might have to be the solution.
