X PRICE Sc All-Time Record Revenues Seen (By John LeBianc, Canadian Press Staff Writer) O'I'I'AWA, (CP)-The federal government played it safe Tuesday night by shaving a tiny 512,000,000 from taxes and budgeting fora record revenues. Finance Minister Harris ex- tended a miscellany of minor tax concessions in his budget placed. before the Commons but they all l added up to about one-fourth of; one per cent of the government's. estimated take of 34.763.000.000. E They left him with a forecast surplus of 31l3.000.000 for the fis-, cal year starting April 1. compared l with a deficit of 051,700,000 for the year ending March 31. . The two big money-raisers for the treasury A personal and cor- poration income taxes-remain un- changed. possibly leaving the min- ister some leeway for pre-election cuts next year. Both were re- duced last year. The only reductions of any sub- stance-and they account for all of the 3l2.000.000-were the extension of sales tax exemptions at the manufacturers' level to about 20 types of goods. mainly for use in construction, manufacturing and production. CUTS NOT BROAD None of thee xemptions apply to the everyday articles still subject to the 10-per-cent tax that accounts in all for about s7oo.ooo,ooo a year in revenue. The changes are effect- ive immediately. Other taxes remain as they are including those on such items as automobiles, -radios, liquors. boa, clam-its. tobacco.'soft' drinks arid candies. The 52-year-old Mr. Harris, pre- senting his second budget to Par- liament, applied one new tax-w per cent against the advertising revenues of Canadian editions of foreign periodicals. Aimed at pro- tecting Canadian magazines, it is effective next Jan. 1. Mr. Harris turned loose gold for free purchase and sale after many years of restrictions of various kinds-a move that will have no effect on federal revenues. I He also announced a new con- cession to the provinces in the fed- eral govcrnment's tax-sharing pro- posals. to give them a higher guarantee of federal payments in the event of a downturn in the economy. but he made it clear this is a final proposition. About 40 tariff changes. mostly minor reductions, were i, effective today. Major one is a widening of the range of duty-free 1956-57 surplus on all-time Mr. Harris announced the tariff board will be asked during the year to consider overhaul of tariffs on zinc. fire brick and possibly radio and television set parts. The three- man board will be increased to five members. Along with his cautious esti- mates. Mr. Harris said in his budget speech that the surplus is not much more than a prudent re- serve against unforeseen circum- stances.- His forecast spending of 34.650,- 000,l"'0 would be a peacetime hi h, xcecded only in the Second W Id War. He had already called on - the Commons for authorization to spend 54.500.000.000 and he said he saw no chance of getting the eventual figure below his budget forecast. For the year that ends March 81, the government will have spent an estimated 34.437.100.000. thl peacetime high up to now. Rev- enues in this year are indicated at 34.385.400.000. second in peacetime to the 1953-54 total of 34.396.300.000. The coming year's revenueex- penditure figures-as has been customa , for the last few years- does not take into account old age security payments, which are han- dled through a fund collected from special income and sales taxes and kept outside the t dget except for pf;-ennial annual deficiencies in the cl. " REVENUE 383C MILLION For 1956-57. the revenue for these 70-and-over pensions was es- timated at 3336.000.000 and the payments at 3379.500.000. leaving a deficiency of 343,500,000 to be in- ciuded in the following year's bud- get. The 1955-56 shortage of 350.- 000.000 rill be included in the corn- ing year's spending. In explaining a jump of 3378,- 000,000 in revenue between the cur- rent and the coming fiscal years. Mr. Harris said it is accounted for largely by the fact that some cor- poration taxes owed on the current year will not be paid until after April 1. These are estimated at around 3290,ll)0,000. Mr. Harris said he must warn (Continued on page 2 col. 7) F lieu -00: parts of farm machinery and equipment which also are freed from the I0-per-cent sales tax.
