PRIME MIISTER
FOR MbEDIA p Tuesday 15 March, 1933
The Premier of South . ustralia, Mr Bannon, has requested
that Commonwealth approval be. iven to donations to public
appeals on behalf of victims of the recent floods in the
Gawler and Barossa Valley regions of South Australia be
regarded as tax deductible in accordance with the provisions
of the taxation legislation.
I have advised the Premier that the Deputy Commissioner
of Taxation in South Australia has the delegated authority
to approve such requests provided the public appeals
conform with the requirements of the legislation.
I thoroughly support the Premier's approach and have
informed him that the Deputy Commsissioner will give this
matter prompt and sympathetic consideration.
