incomprehensible patchwork but in particular they fear that re form might force them more and lo sacrifice certain pre fences So finance Minister Michael son as long as last October ip plied a sugar coating the pill By reducing the number of lax breaks thai benefit only a few by in suring thit profitable corporations pay their fair share and by relying more on corporate and sales tax re venues we will be to cut present income lax rales That statement embodies two time tested slogans with broad peal Soak rich and soak the corporations In the current fiscal year which ends March corporate income taxes will account for about 13 per cent of federal government revenues compared with 3 per cent from per sonal income taxes Afler reform that gap will be nar rowed Appearances can deceive however You may find that any sav in your personal income lax will be offset by tax induced in creases in the cost of all the goods and services you buy 1 The average Canadian will no Ion ger have to pick up a tab for profitable companies which do not pay Ihetr fair share Wilson has said To broaden the base of corporate taxation says the chartered firm of Thome Ernst and the Finance Department may realise or eliminate today VINCENT EGAN On Business tolerated writeoffs of manufaclur ing and processing Capital cost allowances may be brought more closely line with those and other classes of capital assets and natural resource companies may find thur allowances trimmed back Other possibilities include tighter restrictions on the transfer of losses from one company lo another and the taxation of dividends paid by one company to another when Ihc firm makes a profit pays little or no tax And it is also expected lhal Wilson borrowing a leaf Tram the Americans book might introduce a minimum lax on corporate income above a certain level analogous to the tentative Minimum Tax on individual Canadians In all the speculation about the spe cifics of the forthcoming lax reform package there are two important po litical realities One if that it will be designed to bring in more revenues notwiths landing Wilson commitment thai it will be neutral in that respect That is not necessarily a bad thing given the gargantuan size of the govern annual deficits running at billion in the coming year and of cumulated public debt ab out billion The other reality is critics wdl try to lear the reform package to pieces regardless of whatever Us actual merits or faults may be I he hostile reaction of Liberals and Wilson innocuous budget Feb 19 and the anguished bleals in response lo its minuscule tax in creases prove thai the subject of tax a Hon cannot be discussed dispassion alely that would break the rules of the political game That was demonstrated in the late 1960s when the Carter Commission proposed a comprehensive inte grated reform of the tax system Eventually that was watered down to a few barely recognizable changes in the amendments to the Income Tax Act Lei s hope that this time two de cades after Carter we can find agreement on the genuine reform that our lax structure so badly needs StcanedGJass Such HONDA LEASING OR P 87 ACCORD dr aolo loaded iMhMfl PRICE BUSTER
