Pay-Roll Tax Assessment Act 1941 (REPEALED)

Part V - Collection and recovery of tax  

SECTION 35 (Repealed by 101 of 2006)  

35   Contributions from joint taxpayers  
Where two or more persons are jointly liable to pay tax they shall each be liable for the whole tax, but any of them who has paid the tax may recover contributions as follows:

(a) a person who has paid the tax in respect of any wages may recover by way of contribution from any other person jointly liable to that tax a sum which bears the same proportion to the tax as the share of the wages which that other person was liable to pay bears to the total amount of wages which the persons jointly liable to tax were liable to pay;

(b) every person entitled to contribution under this section may sue therefor in any court of competent jurisdiction as money paid to the use of the person liable to contribute at his request; or may retain or deduct the amount of the contribution out of any moneys in his hands belonging or payable to the person liable to contribute.
