Observers Forecast Taxation Relief OTTAWA. June 3-(6?) —-Wlth the budget only two day: away close observers on Parliament Hill are forecasting that Fiance Min- ister Ilsley will announce relief in income taxes. corporation taxes and excess profits taxes. One way he could give relief Eh income taxes that would help all income tax payers would be to in- crease the emount of income ex- ei-nrptions. As each taxpayer pays on the total income less the amount exempt any increase in the exemp- tion would be of general benefit. The present exemption is $680 for single persons and $1.300 for married persons and forecasts of how much these will be increased range from $200 in each category to one source that was convinced the single person's income would be exempt to $1,000 and the married persons to $2.000. Some the more optimistic think the rates of income also Will be reduced somewhat as they were in the budget last fall. It may turn out that some of the relief ‘m income taxes will be off- set by a new social security tax based on incomes. It ls possible that such a tax at four or five per cent may be imposed and will apply to all salaries above $060 and to a maximum of $3.000. It is explained that if this pro- posal is carrred out and it is known that the Cabfit has given it a great deal of consideration, every person with a salary of $3,000 or more will pay the same. between $50 and $60 and those under that amount comparatively less. The argument advanced for such a graduation is that the tax payers in the lower brackets will be the_ ones most likely to benefit by this security; and therefore should contribute even when their incomes will be too low to pay a general tax. The expectation is that corpor- ation excess profits tax will be 111s- continued at the cnd of the calen- dar year_as is being done in the United Kingdom. The guess is that the corporation tax will be cut ‘from 40 per cent to 30 per cent.
