| |
(b) as respects subsequent years of assessment on the full amount of the emoluments for the year preceding the year of assessment, provided that where the person first held the office or employment or became entitled to the annuity, pension or stipend in the year preceding the year of assessment the computation shall be made on the amount of the emoluments for the year of assessment, provided also that, where the person first held the office or employment or became entitled to the annuity, pension or stipend in the year next before the year preceding the year of assessment, he shall be entitled on giving notice in writing to the inspector within twelve months after the end of the year of assessment, to be charged on the amount of the emoluments for the year of assessment.
