yet not passed into law It should be remembered that these benefits if passed will be available only to manufacturing and process companies and not to all rations Manufacturers processors comprise about 30 percent of the total of all businesses in Canada Not only do the balance of other types of corporations about percent of the total which includes most small businesses service in transportation firms etc not get the tax cuts but their rates were actually Increased between 5 percent to percent as of January 1 1973 WHY INCREASE Why do most company tax rates increase this year Just over a year ago on March Parliament passed a bill reducing cor porate Income taxes by percent for the last half of and all of 1972 This Bill gave effect a budget proposal announced back on October 1971 by Edgar Benson then the Minister of Finance The 7 percent reduction applied to all rat ions but it was due to at the end of 1972 1972 general federal corporate tax rate was Percent Turners budget of May 1972 announced the low politically controversial manufacturers and rocessors reduced rates to effective January 1 1973 the majority of com ionics the percent which re not manufacturers or began January 1973 paying the greater ate with no hope of enjoying he new reduced rate PAY ATI- The greater rate is more for companies iornby Jews Twenty eight friends and latives

percent more for Canadianowned private companies earning less than ISO profit Thus these companies and especially Canadian owned small businesses are paying a greater rate subsidize the proposed cuts that will favour only manufacturers and processors It should also be con that much of the tax cut benefits to man Ufa and processors will be wasted on the Canadian are foreign whose decisions regarding Canadian operations will not be much affected by the cuts Instead of resulting In greater Canadian em through an ex pans ion of business the cuts may well end up In the Treasuries of foreign head offices THOUGHTS These then are some additional thoughts to add to difficult economic decisions laced by Members of Parliament when trying to decide how to vote on Mr Turner latest budget proposals One must take into account not only last years budget which is still not passed Into law but also the provisions of the budget If you have a problem idea comment criticism or if you simply
