Mr. Benson said a survey of the tax returns of 12,000 Cana- dians earning more than $25,000 a year turned up some claims that had not previously been un- covered in the field of expense account living. The survey found that ex- pense account living does go. on in Canada, but the country is not losing as much as some offi- cials had feared. It found. that the greatest misuse of claims for expenses involved automo- biles for. pur poses. The survey used business found, on the other hand, that high living such as is usually associated with expense accounts was not an important factor in making improper claims for expenses on tax returns Cheque Error Unlikely Here | It would be virtually impos- sible for someone to receive a cheque for a large amount by mistake from the Oshawa Board of Education.
