Stewart, Almonte, who is Incarne Tax Consult- ant of t.he Ontario Federation. Mr. Stewart has held this pos- ition almost ever uince larin people have been concerned with Income Tax problems. He explained how in his op- inion Incarne Tax was ont of the fairest means of taxation as it depends on one's ability ta pay. His Department had been estabhi. hed by the On- tarie Fedenation when it was found there was a need te make Income Tax more ac- ceptable te larm. people and ta impness tht Incarne Tax De- partment with tht need cf a simplified lorm, for larm peo- pie. He Impressed his audience with the value of filing incarne tax neturns altýhough it is not com.pu'lsory if tht farmer is not taxable. He aise pointed out that the Incarne Tax Act is made'by Government and In- corne Tax Officiais are only performning thei:n duty in car- rying out the Act. Over the last 10 ta 12 years, ai 200,000 returns liled only one quar- ter were taxable and in hast year's return more than thret times as many wene not tax- able. compared ta those who paid tax. This af course only applied to farin retu*rns. MWay Appeal Assessment Mr. H. R. MeCGrogan, Head Office. Incarne Taic Dept., Ot- tawa, was introducad and aut- lined the many regulations of tht Act as they applied ta farmers. Ht stated that first of al be wished ta make it quite clear that tht Incarne Tax officiais did nlot have the final say rcgarding thet mdi- vidual's tax. If you wert net satisfied with yaur assessinent you may asIc ta have it re- viewed by giving notice of objection within ninety day s. If you arc still not satisfitd You may appeal ta tht Appeal Section Brancti by depositing $15.00. Ilt will then be reviewed by the Ap- peai Board who are appointed by Parliament. If your return is amended ln any way your $15.00 depasit will be neturn- cd. It can be stili further ap- pealed to the Exchequtr Court by depositing $400. This would only be dont in extreme cases. Cash on Accrual Basis i A farmer can file on tither a Cash or Accrual basis, tht latter taking in invtntory. If the farmer is Miing on a cash basis and finds it te his ad- vantage ta change te Accrual basis he can do sa but once on an Accruai basis be can- not change back. It was aise explained fully that a fariner can average his income over a five year peniod. Value of Basic Rerd Bath Mr. Stewart and Mr. McGrogan empbasized the value te a livestock fariner of establishýng a basic herd. Mr. McGrogan pointed out tht Basic Herd Plan had been es- tablished through representa- tion made by tht Ontario Fed- eration af Agriculture and was actuallv a Directive of the Act rathen than an Act in itself. In his opinion, too lew farmers were availing theinselves of itt advantages and in orden ta establisb Ba- sic Herd records were neces- sary dating back te 1947, if you wtre farming at that turne, thus each yean made it in- creasingly harder ta becomel cstablished. He stattd how- ever. the Departinent wouîd lean oven backwards te hehp a farmer establîsh a Basic Herd. Ht pointed out its ael- vantages at time of herd dis- persai and in case of dis-i pensaI being caused by Ioss of buildings by lire and other causes.
