523W
§ Mr. Peter Rees[pursuant to his reply, 22 February 1980, c. 376]: In the case of a paid official, such payments are taxable except to the extent that they represent reimbursement of expenses necessarily incurred in the performance of his duties. In the case of an unpaid official, payment which does no more than reimburse him for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with his duties is not taxable.
