FREYBERG, Governor-General

To all to whom these presents shall come and to:

JOHN HECTOR LUXFORD, of Auckland, Retired Stipendiary Magistrate, THEODORE NISBET GIBBS, of Wellington, Public Accountant, and PAUL LANCELOT PORTER, of Heretaunga, Retired Banker.

GREETING:

WHEREAS it is desirable that inquiry should be made into certain matters relating to income-tax and social security charge payable by Maori authorities and Maoris referred to in section 29 of the Land and Income Tax Amendment Act 1939, and into the necessity or expediency of legislation relating to such income-tax and social security charge:

Now, therefore, I, Bernard Cyril, Baron Freyberg, the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in exercise of the powers conferred on me by the Commissions of Inquiry Act 1908 and all other powers and authorities enabling me in this behalf, and acting with the advice and consent of the Executive Council, do hereby nominate, constitute, and appoint you the said

John Hector Luxford,
Theodore Nisbet Gibbs, and
Paul Lancelot Porter

to be a Commission for the following purposes, namely,–

(1) To inquire into the working of the law relating to income-tax and social security charge in connection with the income derived by the Maori authorities referred to in section 29 of the Land and Income Tax Amendment Act 1939 and the Maoris in trust for or on behalf of or for the benefit of whom such Maori authorities administer or have control of Maori land or reserves or any other property or income in so far as it relates to compliance by such Maori authorities and Maoris with such law;

(2) To inquire into the necessity or expediency of and to recommend any legislation which having regard to the facts found by you may appear to be desirable in connection with the working of the laws relating to income-tax and social security charge payable by such Maori authorities and Maoris, and for the purpose of better ensuring that such Maori authorities and Maoris comply with those laws by furnishing correct returns of income and by paying the correct amounts of income-tax and social security charge for which they may be liable;

(3) To inquire and report whether it is just and equitable that such legislation should include provision for mitigating the liability of such Maori authorities and Maoris to comply with the laws relating to income-tax and social security charge from time to time in force in respect of the years prior to the 31st day of March 1952; and for that purpose to inquire whether such Maori authorities and Maoris or any of them believed, and if so, were justified in believing, that they would not be required to make returns of income or to pay income-tax or social security charge on the profits derived from land or other property administered by such Maori authorities in trust for or on behalf of or for the benefit of such Maoris or on some portion of such profits;
