DUTIES ON PROFITS OF FOREIGN OR COLONIAL
POSSESSIONS OR SECURITIES.
THE PROPERTY A6T of the 46th of his present
M.ije,ty, &red', That Profits, arising from Foreign Posses-
sions or Foreign Securities, or in any of his Majesty's Dominions
beyond the Seas, shall be Assessed by the Commissioners acting
for London, Bristol, Liverpool, or Glasgow, at or nearest to
which such property shall have been first imported, or at or
nearest to which the Person who shall have received Remittances
shall reside; and the Act of the 48th of his present Majesty di-
rects, 'That whenever the Produce or Profits arising as aforesaid
shall have been imported into or received by any person partly in
the Port of London, and partly in any of the Outports above
mentioned, the whole of such Produce or Profits shall be assess-
ed by the Commissioners of London, and not elsewhere ; and
whenever such produce or profits shall have been wholly impor-
ted into or received by any person in the Outports above men-
tioned, but in different parts, in two or more of such Outports,
the whale thereof shall be assessed at that Port at which the ma-
or part in value shall have been import td or received, provided
that the returns of such preduae or profits shall be delivered to
the Commissioners at each of the places at which ;my part -hereof
shall have been imported or received. It being also further direct-
ed, by the said just mentioned Act of the 48th of his present
Majesty, That the Agetit or Receiver of such Produce or Pro-
fits shall be charged for the same, and shall be answerable for all
acts required to be done for assessiug and paying the duties on such
property, whether the Owner or Proprietor be resident in Great
Britain or not, under the pt•nalties contained in the said Acts.
Ills Majesty's Commissioners for the Affairs of Taxes hereby
give Notice, That strict inquiries are now making as to all Pro-
perty so imported or received, and by whom or on whose ac-
count ; bat, being desirous to avoid the infliction of Penalties,
they hereby require, that all Persons, who, as Owners or Pro-
prietors, or as Agents or Receivers of Profits or of Property, of
the descriptions above mentioned, shall have received the same in
Great Britain, and who have neglected or omitted to comply
with the provisions of the Acts now recited, by not delivering
full and complete Returns for the current and any former year
for which they may be to default to the Commissioners of tke
respective places above stated, according to foe directions therein
contained, do forthwith deliver such Returns, otherwise they
will be proceeded against for the Penalties incurred by such omits.
sion and default.
The said Commissioners having been informed that several
Estates stand charged with annuities to persons residing in Great
Britain, payable out of the proceeds of the said Estates, and that
it has become a practice to deduct the mount of the said annui-
ties from the Estimate of Profits, thereby not only reducing the
income of the Proprietor, but aonsealing the ?arum of said
annuities, think it necessary to state, that no annuity or interest
of money charged en any Estate in his Majesty's Foreign Domi-
nions ought to be deducted from the Estimate of Profits, but
ought to be included therein as part of the profits of the Estate,
payable to the Annuitants; and that the Proprietors or their
Agents are respectively liable to the duty to be charged thereon ;
and that, in all cases, where, after payment of such annuities, no
profit would remain to be accounted for by the Proprietors or
their _Agents, they are bound to return the amount of such An-
nuities a:id to be charged for them ; its all which cases the Pro-
prietors or their Agents respectively are to deduct from the re-
spective Annuitants their proportion of the duty so charged in
respect thereof. By order of the Board,
