The Legislature of the Island Of Nevis have

all vessels. This act provides for an Island Revenue
as follows:
Upon the yearly value or rent of sugar planta-
tons tax and duty not exceeding go for every
f1OO of such value. Upon the yearly value or
rent of all other real property tax not exceeding
E12 for every f100 of such value or rent. Upon
all houses, warehouses, shops or other tenements,
not being part or parcel of any sugar plants
ton OF other real estate the yearly value Of rent
whereof shall not be included in the yearly value
or rent Of any such sugar plantation or other real
property, tax or duty not exceeding f5 for every
fl00 OF the yearly rent thereof Upon all ia-
comes of f25 and upward, q tax or duty in
every fl00 of fl0, provided always that no
tax under this act shall be payable in respect
of any income paid or received from funds out Of
this Island; nor upon any income derived from any
estate or property in respect cf which the person
receiving or enjoying such income shall have paid
the tax or duty imposed thereon BY this act.
These taxes or duties are to be paid in two
moieties, the first on the lst day Of May, and the
second on the lst day of August in each and every
year.
