§ 54. Mr. Craven-Ellisasked the Minister of Agriculture the capital value of all Crown lands, including ground rents and the total net income after Income Tax; and, if these same lands and ground rents were owned by an individual, what would be the annual amount of Surtax payable?
§ The Minister of Agriculture (Mr. R. S. Hudson)No valuation of all the Crown lands having been made, the figures are not available to enable the first part of the Question to be answered, and with regard to the last part of the Question, the Crown is not assessed to Schedule "A" tax, and no computation can therefore be made of Income Tax and Surtax.
