I tlttaur A favorite exercise in

the federal department of finance.

I arnund budget time. is comparing

t the tax position of Canadians with that of American: in the same in- come bracket.

Often the Minister of Ftliaurr himself reads such I I:-ihlc of com- parison mm his budget lpeecli Him. Walter llarris did not do In this year. no this co umn recently stopped into that. bre ch.

Now Mr. Harris' parliamentary assistant. Mr. William Benidiclc son, has produced the official Inh- le. One of his example; cover: I nmrried man with two children earning s.'t.fl0fI I year. He shows that the Clntidlan would pay S73 in income tux. wliilc the Ameri- can would pay 560.

This contrasts vividly with I simtliar example given in this co- lumn. I said that I typical Canad- ian married man with two chil- dren. nrning 3.3.500 : .VPIl'. would pay M73 in income tax: while. : similarly situated American would pay only Mil.

Allnwim: for the fact that my sample incomc is 5500 higher than the figure used by Mr Bcnidtck- son. these. figures tally in the case of the Canadian. while Mr. Beni-

' rltcksoii appear: to grossly overes- ttimate the tax which would be

payable by the American.

And liercm lies the. blind spot at our Finance. Deputment. from Minister down to junior clerk. I hate to ituggettt thIt the federal Eovernment tells untruilis. but in this case its rcprcscnttttivc has selri-led I lrtith which is so rare as In he wantnnly misleading. THOSE EXEMPTIONS

,mum of &l.mtt u I standard de-

duction without itemizing the it- ems or supporting them with re- ceipts. Mr. Benidickaon said. in presenting his figure. "the calcit- lartnn of these taxes takes into Ic- i-mint the optional standard deduc- tion iii 10 per cent of income with a Hlaxlmulll of 51.000 allowed in every taxpayer in the United Stat- en in lieu of claiming medical ex- penses. charitable donations ttiid I number of nthcr deductions." WHAT A NUMBER

Note that laiu phrase "and I number of other deductions."

ln calculiilitig my figure. I was more realistic than Mr. Benidick- son. Also. I did not have anything in hide. I made no such silly and unrealistic assumption that the taxpayer would opt for the stan- dard deduction: I took a typical case of I family man and listed those deductions and assumed that he would claim them.

Such deductions. as I pointed out previously. include charitable donations tip to it huge 30 per ccnt. nf income. interest on personal di-tits. such all bank loans. home mortgages. and interest paid for purchasing personal pro party (such I! automobiles. radios. etc) on the installment plan; iion-Fcd- eral taxi-ti. such an real estate taxes. auto licence. fccs. nriu-icri- ct-iii Iasnlino taxes. and local sales taxes; medical. dental Ind hos- pital expenses exceeding .'l per cent of one: income. and this lIt- tcr may include the. cost of drugs cu-ccdin': I percent of income plus all transportatioii costs in get med- rial CBFP. plu: premium: on hos- pital Ind medical insurance. which are not permitted in Canada.

Thus. in calculating I typical in Islcssment for my married laxnaycrx. l Issumed that each is paving ntf ll 8l0.00fl mortizagc on their hnmr. is buying it television set and some furuitttre on time. had to htiy I modest amount nt drug: for children. and owned it car driven a modest 5,000 miles during the year.

Of course. when tlic i.-nvernment makes available mortgages for low cost housing and permit: the sale nf at new car with "8495 down and 36 months to pay" Ind the into M a TV set with nothing down and 30 months to pay. it iii realistic in :tssIIt'nP that the taxpayer take: advantage of these terms.

l Assumed that the American taxpayer would be in : iiimtlar position. Ind mndc the appropri- ate itemized dcductionit: Mr. Ben- idicltsnn painted is nice picture by overlookinn them.

So in spite of the offical invent- menl assertion. now immortalized in Hansard. I maintain that our in- come taxes on that Iverege fem- ily man': income are nearly four times the size of comptmthle Amer- ican tnxrs.
