Empire Presents Lots of Variety I11 Tax Formulas

(By PAT USSHER) (Canadian Press Staff Writer) LONDON. Sept. 24-(0?) — Britain's income tax rate stands at B" 51141310 Peak as the Empire wages the most costly war in his- Iory against Hitlerlsm.

Canada. Australia. New Zealand and South Africa have also boosted their rates to keep pace with rising

costs.

Britain's basic rate is now eight shillings slxpence ($1.89) in the pound ($4.45). That doesn't mean everyone with taxable income pays that rate. Taxation is slightly less steep on lower income brackets. Exceptions make the burden a lit- tle less onerous. But even so, it is far heavier than in any other part

J. P. MacPherson 6d SON ‘i

In Canada the Dominion lncomc tax together with the-new-national defence tax announced last June a- mounts to $30 on an income of $1,- 500 a year and $555 on $5,000 n year for married persons with no dependents. 'I‘hcre are deductions or "lemhtlmis for dependents. Prov- incial income taxes also are levied in all provinces except Nova. Sco- tia and New Brunswick.

In June last. it was pointed out that the total income tax. Domin- ion and provincial, levied for in- stance on an Ontario married per- son with no dependents and a $1.- 500 income was 21.3 per cent of the United Kingdom tax and on a $5.000 income 41.5 per cent of tho U. K. tsx.

In Other Domtnlons

In its first war budget Australia revised its entire income tax basis. Effect of the change was to in- crease income tax by roughly 50 per cent. Formerly the rate w1s WOIkPd out on a sliding scale on a graduated basis by means of a complex mathematical formula which Australians claimed made their income tax the fairest in the world.

Australia's income tax is divided into two sections, one on "personal exertion" income. the other on in- come from property. The first {500 ($1.700) of taxable inccme is assessed at five pence in the pound on personal exertion income, and six pence in the pound on property. Both rates rise proportionately. 1n-

(Antiui lo ride _

come abouc £4,200 ($15,036) pay seven shillings sixpence in tht pound on personal exertion. nine

shillings slxpensc per pound on pro- perty inccme.

As an illustration. an Australian with a wife and two children. with earned income of (1,000 ($3.580) pays [42-10-0 ($152.15) Under the old rating system he would have paid {28-9-10 ($102.03).

Basic sum exempt from taxation lls i250 ($895). But the amount ex- empted decreases by {l $3.58» for every {2 ($7.16) over that sum. In other words. on an income of i750 ($2.685) there would be no exemp- tion In addition to federal tax, Australians pay state income tax

New Zealandhas a graduated tax scaic. In 1937-38 the rate was changed from six per cent on as- sessable income of less than ,300 ($1,074) to a “high" of 97 per cent on incomes of £10900 ($35,800( or over. The island dominion also has a 30 per cent surtax. The basic sum exempt. from taxation is £200

(£71m.

In New Zealand‘: first war bud- get. the rates were increased in all categories by 15 per cent.

Gold Income Supertax

South Africa's rate (on assess- able inccm-c) varies from one whirl- t :ug and a fraction to two shillings I per pound, according to the amotn:

of income. There are higher rates l where income is derived wholly or

partly from gold. Supertax goes to ! it maximum of five shillings (s1 l2) 1 in ire pounds ($4.47).

Normal income tax and supertax in South Africa have both been Ir.- crcared by 20 s specie! wu
