Last year the government jumped the sales tax from one in four per- cent, The increase was announced by Premier Bennett when he deliv- ered the budget speech on June 1. Ii became effective immediately. In the preceding year, the tax had been reduced from two to one P0109110 The increive in the sales tax last_ year accounted for an addition to the revenue of approximately twenty million dollars as compared with the previous year. Sales tax yielded $41,271,000 in comparison with col- lections amounting to $20,784,000 in the preceding fiscal year when the tax was one percent. At that how- ever, the returns wer not as great as they would have been ‘had the tax gone into effect at the opening of the fiscal year. Two months had gone by before the increase brcame effective, and the result was a low- er return than would otherwise have been secured. This time. the maximum amount will be obtained- The increase becomes effective to- morrow and no time will be lost in gathering in the revenue resuliinB from the increased schedule. The sales tax has produced considerable amounts for several years. The Min- ister quoted figures which showed that it produced $72,100,000 in the fiscal year 1927-28, $63,846,000 in 1928-29, 844,859,000 in 1929-30, $20,- 784,000 in 1930-31 and $41,271,000 in the fiscal year just closed- Under the previous administration the tax was gradually whittled down in one percent. But business conditions kept the return up fairly high. Col- lections in 1930-81 were the lowest during the past five years. Additional revenue from sales tax this year will come as a result of the adjustment of the exempt and partially exempt 11st of commodit- ie.s which formerly prevailed. The Minster save to the House a list of these articles which he stated were not primary products and should, under present conditions. carry a proportionate share of the tax burden. Also the new rates? of taxation. it is announced, will apply to all goods taken out of warehouse for consumption on and after April 7 "and to have applied to goods pre- viously imported for which no entry for consumption was made before that date."

OTTAWA, Ont., April ii-Increns- cs in therates of tax payable on personal inco and n reduction in‘ exemptions were announced in the House of Commons this after- noon by E. N. Rhodes, Minister of Finance. The changes will apply to incomes of 1931. Penalty provisions for improper returns are being strengthened. Corporation Tax Taxation on incomes of corpor- htions and joint stock companies is raised to eleven per cent. This change likewise will effect 193i re- turns. . "It is proposed," the Minister announced, “to raise the rate of taxation on incomes of corporations and joint stock companies to 11 per cent to take effect in the 193i tux- ation period. Under the act at pres- ent, a corporation whose financial year is not coincident with the cal- endar year is allowed until April 30th of the following your to pay the tax. It is proposed to amend the act to provide in such cases for the return of income and payment of the tax within four months from the close of the fiscal period. This will have the effect of accelerating the collection of the tax from those corporations whose fiscal periods do A further amendment to the In- come War Tax Act will repeal the provisions relating to family cor- poration. "In respect of the tax on person- al incomes, it is proposed to repeal the deduction of 20 per cent now allowed fro mthe tax payable under the established schedule of rates. In addition all taxpayers, including corporation, in receipt of not in- come in excess of $5,000 will be re- quired to pay a surcharge of 5 per cent of the amount of tax otherwise payable. The personal exemption, where heretofore $3,000 will be rc- duced to $2,400, and whore hereto- fore $1,500, will be reduced to $1,- 200. No change is to be made in the exemption for dependent child- ren. Hereafter the exemption grant- ed in respect of income from unnu- ity contracts will be $1,200 instead of $5,000. This will bring the ex- emption into conformity with the Annuities Act as amended in i981. “The penalty provisions in the income war tax act will be amend- ed so as to provide that in cases where investigation reveals that a taxpayer has deliberately under- stated his income, the amount of income not disclosed will be added in double the amount and the tax assessc‘ thereon. The deccase of the taxpayer will not avoid the tax penalty. ' "The changes in the exemp- tions and in the rates of tax pay- baie will apply to incomes of 193i. A Balanced Budget OTTAWA, Ont., April S-Canada will completely balance her budget on the usual current governmental services this year. In delivering his budget speech in parliament today E. N. Rhodes, Minister of Finance, declared this was the considered view of the government after a cen- sideration of revenues and expend- ltures. "Without building too greatly on help from this source in the pres- ent year," Mr. Rhodes asserted, "it is the considered view of the gov- ernment that reductions in expend- itures, on the one hand, and pro- posed additions to the‘ taxation rav- cnues on the other, will, in the fin- al outcome, represent o. complete balancing of the budget on the usu- al current governmental services, while, unfortunately, the estimates of revenues, which are conserva- tively based having regard to the present conditions of business, do not cover the special expenditures cn unemployment relief nor the more indirect liabilities arising out not end with the caldendar year.' National Railways, it is neverthe- less, in our Judgment as substan- tial a. step in the direction of pro- viding currently for every respon- sibility of the government as would be in the public interest to make effective in any one year under ex- isting conditions. ation and reasonably stable condi- tions, it was anticipated, the fin- ance ministcr stated, that the rev- enues in the fiscal years 1932-33 “will amount to $319,100,000 from the following suorces; Customs duties $100,000,000, excise duties $45,000,000 excise taxes $70,000,000 income tax $48,000,000, post office $32,000,000, interest on’ investments $11,500,000, other sources $21,600,000. Total $319,100,000. Mr. Rhodes continued: “The or- dinary requirements for govem- ment services in 1932-33, as provided for in the main estimates, together with certain special and statutory amounts such as for old age pen- sions and payments to railways un- !der the Maritime Freight Rates ‘Act, are estimated at $369,900,000 and, in addition $9,600,000 is voted for capital expenditures. “A very considerable contribution to the balance oi’ the budget has a1- ready been made in the reduc- tions of appropriations which have been recommended to the House for the current year. Leaving aside the extra/ordinary expenditures on wheat bonus and unemployment relief. the expenditures in the fis- cal year just ended are estimated at $404,900,000. In comparison with which the estimated expenditures '01 $379,500,000 for 1932-33 show a !reduction of $25,400,000 after ab- .sorbing an increase in interest on the public debt of $12,700,000. "The perplexities which ordinar- ily attend the curtailment of ex- penditures on governmental serv- ices are rendered much greater in the present instance by reason cf the reductions which had already been effected in the ordinary and capital expenditures, and particu- !larly by reason of the increasingly Ysmallcr proportion of the expend- iiturea which are controllable. Thus 'in the proposed expenditures for !1932-33 the fixed and in general ‘uncontrollable amounts, including ‘debt charges, pensions and ex-sol- diers welfare, provincial subsidies, and similar items, aggregate ap- proximately $236,000,000, leaving only $143,500,000, or 33 pcr cent un- der the classification of control- lable. In the fiscal year Just end- ed, the corresponding figure of con- trollable expenditures was $179,300,4- 000. It will therefore be seen that the reduction which it is proposed i0 effect this year in the controllable expenditures is $35,200,000 which is theequivalent of 20 pcr cent. These figures have been cited to illustrate the drastic economies which the government has felt it necessary to institute, having regard to the de- pleted returns from taxation. With revenues estimated at $319,- 100,000 and the usual current ex- penses of government amounting to $800,900,000 it is clear that increas- es in the rates of taxation are ne- cessary. Accordingly it is proposed to recommend measures which will, it is estimated, increase the rev- enues by $55,000,000. thus balancing the current expenditures and leav- ing a surplus of $4,300,000. If ex- pectations are realized, this sur- plus would serve to cover a large part of the capital expenditures as well. Even a. slight improvement in price levels, and the general volume of business would of course, he re- flected immediately in the returns from customs and excise taxes, and our budget position would be cor- rcspondlngly improved. "In proposing these , additional measures of taxation, sideration has been given, on the one hand. to the ability cf our people to bear the extra burden, and on the other. to the absolute necessity of placing financing of the Canadian our financial house in order. ts TNCWI Fertilizer And Potato Co.

The Finance Minister's Appeal "Bearing fully ,in mind the fact that, in common with the whole world, we have suffered while not in equal degree at least in substan- tial degree as the result of u. de- pression universal in scope and un- paralleled in magnitude; realizing also the anxieties and burdens of the people and the manifold diffi- culties resulting from the frying period through which we are pass- ing and appreciating how desirable it is that we should endeavor to the fullest possible extent compatible with the public interest ‘.0 cull for n5 little further sacrifice as poa- slble at the same time we would be recreant to our duty if we failed to face our problems with de- termination and at whatever sac- rifice, fully meet our financial ob- ligations, balance our budget and preserve our national credit in the eyes world. “This course may result in hard- ship. It may entail sacrifice. But in the long run it will result in less hardship, and will call for less sac- rifice than that which would flow from a policy less courageous." OTTAWA. Ont, April 6—(By the Canadian Press)--An increase in sales tax from four to six percent was announced in the budget speech of E. N. Rhodes, Minister of Finance, in the House of Commons this afternoon. A limited adjustment of the exempt and partially exempt list in the case of a number of articles not primary products which it is believed should, under pres- ent conditions, carry a proportion- ate share of the burden takes place Chief items to be taken from the exempt list are bakers cake and pies, lard compound and sim- ilar substances made from animal or vegetables ‘stearine or oil. Ice cream, processed milk foods and cereal foods under customs items 45 and 46 and usual coverings for goods not subject to the sales tax." Biscuits are to be raised from the half to the full rate, Mr. Rhodes stated. Additional revenue would be obtained from this source, he added. The two per cent increase in sales tax and the readjustment of the exemption list are in accordance with forecasts. OTTAWA, Ont., April 6-—A tax of one percent of net premiums of insurance companies authorimd to transact business in any prov- lnce of Canada, other than lifc, marine and farm mutual was an- nounced in the budget speech of E. N. Rhodes. Minister of finance in the House of Commons this af- ternoon. "The tax upon insurance premiums passed at the last ses- sion was not put into effect by proclamation as provided by the statute, owing to difficulties over the jurisdiction of the Dominion and provinces in the matter of in- surance, Mr. Rhodes remarked. "It is now proposed, under the special war revenue act, to‘ a tax of 1 percent of net premiums of insurance companies authorized to transact business in Canada or in any province of Canada. other than life, marine and farm mutual. This tax was in force from 1915 to 1920. British and “foreign companies not so authorized but maintaining de- posits with the Dominion, will also be assessed i percent of not prem- iums recelved in Canada. Canadian policyholders who insure their prop- erty in Canada with companies oth- er than those mentioned above, will be charged a tax of 15 percent of the gross premiums payable on such insurance. _' farmer is guaranteed a definite minimum price for the quantity of potatoes required to pay oil‘ his fer- tilizer bill. His potatoes are then pooled and marketed. When the pool is closed out the Associated Ship- pers Inc. take a. commisison for financing the deal, and pay back to the farmer whatever proceeds are left, after the fertilizer bill is taken care of. In addition to this contract deal the Company will sell cash fertilizer, and also buy potatoes in the Fall, in addition to those supplied from their fertilizer contracts. Mr. M. G. McNeely has resigned his position with The Harris Abat- toir Company, Limited, to take charge of the new organization. Mr. W. N.
