CHAPTER II
WHAT IS MEANT BY THE TERMS “ SCHEDULE A, ETC.
THE various sources from which income is received
are classified in the Acts of Parliament under five
heads, called Schedules.”
Schedule A deals with the ownership of houses and
lands (Property Tax).
Schedule B deals with the occupation of lands
(Farmers’ Tax).
Schedule C deals with interest from Government
Stocks.
Schedule D deals with trades, employments, profes-
sions, business in general, and a number of special
subjects, such as—
Interest received untaxed or in full.
Profits of cattle-dealers and dairy-farmers
not covered by the charge under
Schedule B.
Foreign securities or possessions.
Any annual profits not otherwise charged.
It will be seen that this Schedule covers all sorts
of liability not included in the others, but it is only of
general interest as regards trades, professions, or
employments.
Schedule E includes official salaries, fees, or per-
quisites. The Inland Revenue Department usually
assesses subordinate employésof public companies, etc.,
under this Schedule on their actual salaries instead
of under Schedule D on the average of the preceding
