Goodman, a tax ex- pert, went before the Carter commission on taxation today, armed with a long list of loop- holes in the Income and Excise Tax Acts which, he said, were in dire need of plugging. Many of them developed through 'piecemeal' amend- ments to the acts which, while offering relief to various classes of taxpayers, "discriminate against other taxpayers who are equally deserving." He cited the inequity of tax- ing persons with irregular in- comes as one area that needed revision. Under the act, a per- son earning $3,000 in one year, $4,000 the next, and $100,000 the next, pays a total of $52,870 in tax over the three years. An- other person, earning the same amount in a steady salary, pays $41,979 This system operates "most whfairly" on persons whose in- come ins one year involves a carry-over from other years. It could involve the sale of pro- perty, or the receipt of pension) benefits or insurance.

To impose a general tax, without this excess principle, would in- terfere with the fundamen- tal principle that corporate in- come is to be taxed only once at the corporate level and once at the individual level.

VANCOUVER (CP) -- North- ern Affairs Minister Laing said Tuesday the Liberal government is working to implement its election pledge of 2 $10,000,006. a-year scholarship plan for Ca- nadian university students "as soon as We can."
