National school-teachers are not being charged to tax on their contributions to their superannuation scheme. This scheme was introduced in 1968 but has not yet been given statutory sanction which would establish the scheme as a statutory superannuation scheme. Pending introduction of the appropriate legislation, provisional arrangements have been made under which only the net amount of emoluments, after deduction of the superannuation contribution, is charged to tax.
