Plan starting next week should add only frac- tionally to consumer prices. One official estimated that the additional wage cost on a restaurant meal, for instance, should only be about one cent on a $3 tab. Starting Jan. 1, employers required to deduct 1.8 per cent of each employee's wages be- tween $600 and $5,000 and send it along with payroll deductions for income taxes to the revenue department. In addition, the employer must match the pen- sion plan deduction with the same amount of his own funds. But these employer contribu- tions to the pension fund are counted as a business expense, and the amount is not taxable for corporation profits. For the tax-paying firm--especially one showing profits of more than $35,000 a year and paying taxes at the rate of 50 per cent--this means an additional payroll ex: pense of a lot less than 1.8 per, cent.

In many restaurants apart from the big chains and those associated with hotels or big stores--as in many other small retail establishments -- em - ployees are not now covered by a pension plan. It was to cover such work- ers that the Canada Pension Plan is being introduced, and the payroll cost of it would be insignificant in relation to the numbers. afforded retirement al- lowances, a government official said.

"One of the major purposes of the Canada Pension Plan is to provide a basic pension for people who are not adequately covered by private pension plans," he said. "Where there are private plans in existence, it is possi- ble to integrate the CPP into these existing pensions schemes at np extra cost--either to the employer or to the employee-- and this Is being done in many cases." Where the Canada Pension Plan is being "stacked"' on top of an existing pension plan, the contributions will be extra for both the employer and the em- ployee, but the employee's ben- efits on retirement will be greater.
