Income Tax Reductions

(By The Canadian Preee)

OTTAWA. Oct. 12~Finance Min- ister Ilsley tonight announced in his annual budget a iii-percent Slash in the personal income tax rate, eflective as from Oct. l. which means that Canadian In- ggme-tax payers can count on pa - ing four percent less to the F r eral Government on their 1 5 taxes.

This is because the reduction. dating from Oct. 1. will

_of the present calendar 1'93!‘- For the immediate future, how- eveiyit means that Canadian wage- earners will find their pay chflllil! deductions i6 cents less for every dollar of tax which had been Pr?‘ viously deducted. Thus. a tax- payer whose weekly deduction has been $10 will find it down $1.50

to $8.40. In making his announcement.

I Mr. Ilsley said a general overhaul-

ing of the income tax law is needed but found it unwise to em- bark on that at the moment in view of the uncertainties of future revenue requirements and the re- allocation of Dominion-Provincial financial arrangements proposed to and now under consideration ‘oy the Provinces.

“I think it wise therefore to rec- ommend an interim measure of prompt and unquestionable relief.’ siid Mr, Ilsley.

He expressed the hope new ar- rangements with the Province and clarification oi peacetime condir- ions would occur before the 1M6 budget. iii that case all overhaul oi the whole personal income tax rate structure could be combined with “further abatement." Thus the l6 per cent reduction may never apply to a full income ye-ir but may be replaced before the end of i946 by other changes.

income tax, Finance Minister Ila-E

ley dropped a second lusty encour- agement to Canada's little man tonight-those haunting income tax forms are going to be "greatly simplified.”

Those two disclosures, the one financial, the other almost spirit- ual to many thousands of‘ statistic- swiamped breadiviniiers, were big news to the man in the street, the little fellow who chips into the country's treasury with taxes on tobacco, soft drinks, chewing gun; and other miscellaneous items.

But. for another year at least the little things that take his nio- kels and quarters-the clgllrcts, the tobacco, the movies, the calisiy, the liquor-will rcmtiiii unfiltered at the levels to which they jumped during the war.

Paramount in this first blldqzcl- ary salute to a returned peace was the need to get ‘industry back lll stride, but the little man had his moments amid the mass of stalls- tics and words the Finance Minis- ter unloosed.

0n 1945 income taxes, he can count on paying four per cent less than he had expected because the total i6 percent cut will only ap- ply to three months of this calen- dar year.

He will have to wait to see inst how simple the new system of in- come tax calculation because “more specific information" would be given in the Commons “on a convenient occasion." The simpli- fication originated iii the Depart- ment of Revenue.

If the little man hnpncils to bc planning a trip to tlic United State; he now can bring in $100 worth of articles lvitlicut having to pay any retail excise tax at. the border.

Li’ he was a farmer or a fisher- man he could find a stimulation in the statement that "most syn:- pathetic consideration" would be given proposals to allow their tar:- able incomes to be their average income over a period of years.

He could look for some cut, say, in American cilzarcts or other im- ports through abolition of the war exchange tax of i0 per cent on all- imports from non-Empire coun- tries. But its miijtlr burden has iellen on Producers.

If the ittle plan's wife is fur-

minded he can get satisfaction my! oi what boiled doivli to a slight lowering of the price of furs gen- erally and a greater reduction in the cost of fur-trimmed clothes.

16% Cut In

income Tax

By C. R. BLACKBURN OTTAWA. Oct. 12 — (CP) — Finance Minister Ils ley tonight delivered his first peacetime budget message to the Commons and announced substantial reductions in personal, excess profits and other taxation to encourage

quick restoration of healthy

peacetime economy.

To a crowded House where there was standing room only in the galleries, the Minister announced a 16 per cent

reduction in personal income

tax and lowered the 100 per

cent excess profits tax to 60 per cent. I-Ie made other changes in the same direction and an- nounced the Governmenfs policy of lowering taxation as

circumstances permitted.

These tax reductions will cost $300,000,000 a year in revenues and result in a $2,250,000,000 estimated deficit at

the end of the fiscal year.

But the Minister said he was concerned with loosen-

ing the shackles heavy wartime taxation placed

private enterprise.

"I have been concerned." he said. "wizli making such reduc- tions as would speed up the transition to peacetime conditions and contribute promptly to the expansion of enterprise and em-' ploymenl." _ _

He referred frequently in his 10,000-word speech to the negoti- ations looking toward new ad-p justments in financial relations u-ith the Provinces and their cf- fect upon Federal policies.
