Analysis of Source is Interesting
FIJI, once a place very happily free from taxation collectors, now actually boasts that its receipts from income taxation are very close to £1,000,000 per annum!
An interesting analysis of the figures shows that the taxes have been collected from the various communities in this way:
Of the total sum taken in taxation, £646,575 is from com panies; and, of this, European com panies provide £635,067; Indian companies, £2,950; and Chinese companies, £8,501.
It is a curious and interesting commentary on the economic set up in Fiji.
