THuRSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1941 THE CANqADIAN ,STATESMIAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO Early Dudgeting for Year 1940. Income Taxes Are Advocated Thesoe Taxes WiU BeGrester Burden Than Formerly -Exemptions Lowered- Ail Rates Are Oaloulated. Citizens sbould begin budgeting carhy for Uic 1940 Dominion i- came taxes liecause af Uic Increas- cd amaunts Uiey wilh have ta pay, it is stated by C. A. Masters, Do- minion incarne tax inspectar. These taxes are for the ycar ending December 31, 1940, and are payable on or before April * 30, 1941. "These taxes are*gaing ta be.a grester burden Uian forrnerly," said Mr. Masters, "Iand provision should lic made ta pay thcm. Many tend ta let the matter go until the hast day and then fid that they haven't sufficient mon- J'ey. It's nat that they don't want ta pay tbem but they siiply hadn't budgeted for them."l The tax rates mcntioned behow are for individuais. Tax rates for corporations are mare complicat- cd and information cancerning thcm rnaybe abtsined fram the, incarne tax department. Exemption Lowered Exemption for single men is $750 where farmcrly it wss $1,000. The exemption for married men is $1,500, farrncrly it was $2,000. Exemption for each dependent re- mains at $400. The tax rate la on a graduated scale, incrcasing for each $1,000 af net taxable incarne. The rate on the first $250 ai net taxable incarne is six per cent. Thc rate on the next $750 ai net taxable incarne is eight per cent. The rates for cach additional thousand, up ta and inchuding $10,000 af net taxable incarne arc as lollows: 12pcr cent, 16, 20, 24, 27, 30, 33, 35, 37. In other words, if a taxpayer bas $10,000 of net taxable incarne he'd pay six per cent on the first $250, ciglit per cent on the next $750, 12 per cent an the next $1,000, and sa on until 37 per cent on the tenth thousand. Aftcr the first $10,000 he'd payj as ioilows: 39 per cent.an Uic next $10,000; 41 per cent an Uic, ne.ct $10,000; 47 per cent on the next $10,000; 50 per cent on Uic next $25,000, and 53 per cent an Uic next $25,000. Method of Payment Mr. Masters alsa announced that the rncthod ai payrncnt was as foilows: "The department bas * rulcd that if a taxpayer sa de- sires, hie can psy one-third ai bis tax before April 30, 1941, by regu- lar rnonthly instalmebits in Janu- ary, February, March and April; then the balance ai Uic tax paid in equal monthly instalmonts in May, June, July and August with- out intorest being cbarged - in other wards, one-third by, April 30 and Uic remainder by August 31." The above is separate from ic national defence tax, which must also lie paid. This tax is on the total net incomo if Uic taxpayer bas an incarne ovor a stated amount-$600 for a single persan or $1,200 for a married persan. The rate is 2 per cent for ail such persons, unless Uic single persan bas an incarne in excess ai $1,200, wben the rate is three per cent on thc total net incarne. The distinction IJetween Uic na- tional defence tax of twa Der cent (or three per cent) and thc next rate af six per cent is that the national defence tax applies ta the excess af incarne over the exemp- tion of $750 for single persans, $1,500 for rnarried persans and ailowance for dependents. Incarne Tax Sebodulo Therefare Uic incarne tax sehe- dule mnight be regarded as read- ing: (1) Two per cent on the total net incarne (if the incarne exceeds $600 for single or $1,200 for mar- ried persans). (2) Threc per cent on the total net incarne if the incarne exceeds $1,200 for single persans). (3) Six per cent on the first $250 af incarne, or portion tiiereof, in excesaf the exemption and al- lawance for dependents. .(4) Eight per cent on the next '$750 ai incarne, or portion thereof. (5) Twelve per cent on the next $1,000 of incarne, or portion Uiere- o.(6) And s0 an as provided in the schedule mentioncd above. All rates are ta be calculated on anc return known as Form T. 1, which, irespect, of incarne for 1940, must lic filed on or before April 30, 1941.

Ini empbasîzing these fad a, Newton J. Lander, President ôf the Canadian Life Insurance Of- ficers Association and Managing Director oai Uic Continental Life Insurance Company, 'expressed satisfaction at the splendid posi- tion maintaincd bli 1e insurance in Canada under all Uic oxigencles and demanda of Uic greatest war in history. While contributing in due mca- sure ta war finance ie Insurance in Canada during lc past *weîve months has returned ta lis policy- holders an cstimatcd $165,000,000, af which some $47,000,000 only was psid in deaUi dlaims, Mr. Lander annaunced.

"Despite twclve mantbs aL war and the increasing. pressure of taxation upon people in ail walks ai lice," continued Mr. Lander, "llii e insurance in force ial companies operating in Canada - Dominion, Provincial and frater- nal organizatians - reachcd a ncw high af aver seven billion doilars; and total sales af new In- surance in 1940 - life, groupe and industrial - wcrc only a fraction af anc percent undcr those for the prcceding' twclvc months and totalled, an a conservative cati- mate, weil over $600,000,000. "As i 1914-18, sa now, life in- surance stands foursquare against ail the winds that blow and in these days, when Sa much is heard of home defence, it is weil ta re- member that, ecanamicaily speak- ing, life insurance continues, as i the pýst, ta be the basis af finan- cial security far millions af Cana- dian men and wamen. I can give no mare sincere advice ta aur millions of policyholders than ta urge them ta hoid fast ta their life insurance,"1 said Mr. Lander. "The Canadian Life Insurance Officers Association represents practicaily every if e insurance company - Canedian, British and American - doing business in Canada and the ca-operation throughout the Dominion of i- dividual members of the company staffs at Head and Branch Offices represents a great contribution ta a vital part of gavernmcnt financ- ing. A large share af the success of iaunching and cantinuing the nation-widc sale of War Savings Certif icates must be credited ta the valuntary efforts of 1fe insur- ance men. They have given un- stintingly of their time, especially in the develapment of the Em- pioyer-Employce Co-op e r a t i v e War Savings Plan. "The very awnership of ice in- surance is an indication of the thrift which it is only fit andi pro- per shauld be urged upon ail Ca- nadian citizens on the home front at this time and I arn confident that policyhalders will continue in the contribution ta war effort which is represented by the virtue of thrift. They will, 1 am sure, in- crease their holdings in Savings Certificates as weil as take care of their income tax obligations, and maintain their insurance pro- tection in full farce in the ncw year. The eight rnonths' payment plan, offered by the Dominion Govcrnment, will, it is hoped, en- able Canadian citizens ta meet their incarne tax payments frarn current incarne, without drawing uponé resources already set aside for the protection of their familles and for provision for their own aid age."
