Cleveland OH 44101 Be sure to mention the title 38 million is peanuts For most of us a windfall of 8 million would be like a win the lotteries For the federal government it s peanuts Based on the calculations of Finance Minister Michael Wilson it will feed only an hour and worth of payments on the elephantine national debt Nevertheless its million more than the federal government would have had If Wilsons budget had been delivered at the schedul edtlme When the budget was leaked a day early Wilson announced that an assortment of tax measures which were to go into effect April 28 would instead start at April These included increases in sales taxes on tobacco and alcohol and higher excise levies on gasoline cigarettes cigars and tobacco The increases would bring about 8 million into federal coffers daily That s one of the lesser known results of the federal budget Here are a few other tidbits that haven been widely reported Effective Oct the govern is raising the interest rate that it charges on unpaid taxes and pays on refunds The existing rate is 12 per cent which Is generally lower than what Canadians now pay for borrowed money The auditor general criticized this situation in his last report saying that owing tax was more attractive than other forms of credit BILLIONS OWED A result is that billion was owed the government by late- paying taxpayers as of last March 31 up IS per cent over the previous year Higher interest rates are to be charged to encourage prompt payment of taxes and in stalments the budget documents say The new rate will be calculated from average 90day treasury bill interest rates rounded up to the nearest percentage point plus two percentage points Based on cur rent rates of about 12 30 per cent that would mean a rate of per cent next October The figure will drop if interest rates fall Finance officials expect this move to bring in an extra million Wilson is proposing that owners of compounding in vestments such as Canada Sav ings Bonds and guaranteed invest certificates be required to declare interest every year on those instruments bought after ltfw That would eliminate the op tion of reporting the income every three years The government would benefit from this move because it receives more in interest payments if tax money rolls in sooner It would make a revenue gam of million in the 1991 tax year million in 1992 and modest amounts thereafter MAKES PROFIT There s good news from Canada Post The much maligned agency expected to make its first profit in 30 years in the recently ended fiscal year This profitability is anticipated to carry on for the next five years What more it proposes to cut back a planned twocent increase in firstclass postage rates to a penny in 1990 If you mail two letters a day throughout the year that deferred postage increase will save you the magnificent sum of 30 Next year the upper limit on taxdeductible contributions into a registered retirement savings plan was to rise to 500 from 500 PHOTO SPECIAL I for those without pension plans This has now been delayed for another year because Wilson feared there wouldn t be enough time for employers to make necessary payroll system changes If you have a pension plan the limit stays a 500 minus whatever payments are made into your plan Also the new RRSP limit of 18 per cent of earned income won t go into effect until Until then it be 20 per cent The telecommunications services sales tax will rise to per cent on June from 10 per cent That tax which applies to and telephones is expected to reap million for Ottawa this year and 110 million next year Workers who happen to be disabled will be able to deduct costs of care provided by a part time unrelated attendant The costs of attendants are seen as a barrier to participation by the disabled in the workforce Machinery and equipment us ed primarily in the processing or treatment of toxic wastes will be exempt from federal sales tax HALTON HILLS
