Bowler, NAAAAAAAANANAAAAAANAANAANAA | Hidden Taxes (Canndidn Chamber: of Commerce) We have commented before on the dangers of hidden taxes. The present system of "painless extraction" makes | the taxpayer considerably less tax conscious than he would be if taxes had to be paid for as such out of in- come. Deduction' by the employer of income tax at the source means that the worker considers only his take home pay and forgets that he has made a sizeable contribution to the government by means of a payroll deduction. In the same way the prices he pays for goods - contain a sizeable proportion for tax which he does not consider a tax at all. When prices rise his first thought is that the manufacturer or distributor is making And business .becomes the butt of his resentment at rising prices, Recently we came across an adver- tisement for electric refrigerators in an English magazine. The price of the refrigerator was listed as £68 and immediately below it "was a listing, tax 17 pounds. The purchaser at least knew that he was not paying the manufacturer 86 pounds 'for the machine. ! Mr. J. E. Umphrey, Director of Sales for General Motor Products of Canada Ltd, stated a short while ago that a Canadian car buyer pays fed- eral taxes of about $340 on a-$2,000 car, He pointed out that, in addition, in some provinces, thé buyer must pay provincial and municipal sales taxes and that while he drives he pays gaso- line taxes--as much as 14 cents a gallon, The same story, of course, can be told on almost everything we buy today and it is, we think, neces- that while taxes may 'be necessary, particularly when we are entering a period of military preparedness, the onus of responsibility for high prices should mot "all be placed on -the shoulders of business. It must be remembered too that with the. present concentration on Ftake-home" pay, every additional re- duction by means of taxation brings about strong demands from organized labour for compensating pay in- reases, This means that another izzy inflationary spiral commences--« with, of course, the white collar and unorganized workers being in the "SPECIAL NEW MATIN] proneeds bans donated to the Bia Oomn mittee tha Mr. Gibson for his generous offer. | Hum EE--2 P.M.
