AND INCOME TAX T HE following announcernent will help to clarify the relationship between Fainily Allowances and bIcorne Tax credits for dependent children. Family Allowances are payable frùm July lst, 1945, and the registration of chidren is now taking place. The Family Allowances Act was designed to help equalize opportunities for ail children, and when the Act was passed, Parliainent approved the prin- ciple that there should be no duplication of benefits by way of Family Allowances and Income Tax credits for the same child. An amendment to the bIcorne War Tax Act will be made to deal with this duplicat.ion. In the meantime, however, the Govern- (a) Heads of families îeceivi ng incomes in 1945 of $1200 or less wiII benefit to the extent of the full amnount of the Fam- ily Allowances received. As they are flot required to pay income tax, there is no duplication to remove. (b) Heads of famiies receiving incomes in 1945 in excess of $1200, but flot in excess of $ 3,000, wil in eflect retain the full value of their present incorne tax credits and in addition a percentage of the actual Family Ailowances received. (c) Heads of familles with incomes in excess of $3,000 will retain their ful income tax credits for cbildren if they do not receive Family Ailowances. These taxpayers may, however, apply for Famîly Allowances to protect themselves against a possible decrease in income at a later date wbicb mighî bring them mb toa lower income range where they would benefit from Family Allowances. In such cases if the income remains in excess of $3.000, the income tax credits for child- ren would be reduced by the full amount of Family Allowances ceceived. Family Allowances wiII be paid in fùII In ail cases, those who apply for and are eligible t0 receive Family Allowances will receive them in full, month by month. See scale below: SCALE 0F MONTHLY ALLOWANCES FOR THE FIRST FOUR CHILDREN For each child Under 6 . .. From 6 to 9 : (inclusive) From 10 to 12 (inclusive) Prom 13 to 15 (inclusive) ment proposes, for the last six inonths of 1945 dur-; ing which Family Allowances are payable, to re- move duplication by adjusting the income tax credits received for children. It is natural that parents in the low income groups will be expected to receive maximum beneflîs frorn Family Allowances. Partial benefits will be received, however, by parents with incomes up to $ 3,000. The table below shows the effect of the adjust- ments which the Governrnent has decided to inake. For convenience and simplicity the beneflîs received by each incorne group are shown as a per cent of the Family Allowances recéived. The table shows: TABLE SHOWING EFFECT 0F ADJUSTMENT FOR 1945 Over A' A' 'A 'A AS 'A 's A' 1~ AMOUNT 0F TAXABLE INCOME $1200 buti 1400 1600 1800 2000S 2200 2400 2600" 2800 3000 Percent b,' which taxpayers will benefit from Famil,' Allowances in addition ta present incarne tax credits. for 1945. over $1200 over 1400 " 1600 " 1800 " 2000 " 2200 AS 2400 64 2600 dé 2800 dé 3000 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% of the actual Family Allowances received in fthe yea r 1945.

As far as is possible, to take care of the adjustments necessary ta avoid duplication of benefits, current i ncome tax deductions at the source will be adjusted to take into account the new situation when Family ýùlowance pay- ments commence. This will avoid placing an awkward burden on the taxpayers at due end of the year. FAMILY ALLOWANCES ARE MOT TrAXABLE Special attention is drawn to the fact that the income ranges used in the table above refer to taxable income, and any amounts received as Family Allowances should not tberefore be included in calculating income for Ibis purpose because Family Allowances are flot taxable. Family Allowances are also additional to dependenîs' allowances for servicemen's families and military pensions. For cbildren registered after July ist, 1945, Family Allowances will be paid as from the month following due mondu when registration is made. Family Allowances are not paid retroactively.
