Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report of the Poor Law Commissioners on Local Taxation Poor Law Commission Office, Somerset House, June 1, 1843. Sir, In January, 1841, the Marquess of Normanby, then Her Majesty´s Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, communicated to us his desire that we should prepare a statement of the present condition of the law relating to the Poor´s Rate and other local taxes. From the first appointment of the Poor Law Commission, the attention of the Commissioners has, from various causes, been unceasingly called to the subject of the Poor´s Rate. The Poor Law Amendment Act imposed on the Commissioners the duty of regulating the accounts to be rendered by the persons concerned in the assessment, collection, and expenditure of that tax, and the appointment of paid Auditors under that Act has produced in all parts of the country an increased attention to its legal purposes and its applications. The questions that arise upon the powers of Overseers and Guardians in disposing of its proceeds, and upon the duties of the Auditor in allowing, or disallowing, or reducing charges, are very numerous and various in their character, and constantly afford examples of the operation of the law, and suggest instances of defects in its provisions. Moreover, the Parochial Assessments Act, passed in the year 1836, invested the Commissioners with new duties in respect of the valuation of property for the purposes of the tax, and gave rise to much discussion, the whole of which has proved a daily subject of the correspondence of the Commission. The valuation for the purposes of the Poor´s Rate being used almost universally as the basis of all the other local taxes, it follows that the consideration of questions relating primarily to the Poor´s Rate has frequently involved the consideration of the law, and of the prevailing practices in relation to those other rates.
