But tax plan- ning must be done with a full understanding of the rules, because the rules are constantly changing. To help you make the most of your income, you'll need a con- cise, up-to-date reference guide such as Strategic Tax Planning, revised annually by the Certified General Accountants Association of Ontario, to direct you through the intricacies of this year's tax territory. The 1989/90 edition of Strategic Tax Planning reflects federal legislation to September 15, 1989, 'including Bill C-28 incorporating the proposals of the federal budget of April 27, 1989. The guide also includes revisions in tax legislation subsequent to the 1988 tax reform. Although tax reform has been law for a year, some changes were so extensive that many taxpayers will not yet be familiar with them. For example: . - conversions of many exemptions and deductions to tax credits; - introduction of transfers of tui- tion credits to supporting in- dividuals and - restrictions imposed relative to claiming cost of automobile, meals, entertainment, and office- in-home expenses. | Strategic Tax Planning has been produced as a public service by CGA Ontario with the assistance of Donald M.

Off The Top Made Your Resolution Yet Well here it is, my first column .I decided that the debut of my column in the first issue of the 1990 Port Perry Star, would be my first New Year's Resolution. . First I'd like to say Happy New Year to my family, and friends, and all Port Perry Star readers. Secondly | would like to ask a simple question, "Have you made your New Year's Reso- lution?" This year | decided to skip making the typical resolutions. You know the ones, the same ones everyone makes every year. | often wondered why everyone's resolution is the same every year. Obviously, nobody sticks to the plans. - You know the ones | mean. "This year | am going to lose weight, eat healthy, stop smoking, exercise regularly, and save money." | ask why bother, we have tried them all, we have all made one of these statements, while your friends and family in- stictly nod their head, and say "What else is new?" . By the the end of the second week of the new year, we light up again, in- dulge in that fattening cheesecake, buy outrageous things we really do not need, and generally live by the rules set out in "The Couch Potato Fan Club", | mean this kind of life is heav- live. There are of course people who have stuck by their resolu- tions, and lost that spare tire around the middle, rejuvinated their lungs, and started eating the dreaded "green" food that ple, it takes will power. | myself have only made one resolution, and that is to contin- ue living life the exact way | have for 21 years. It seems to have worked fine so far. | have made the same resolutions, and they either made me miserable, or irritable. That doesn't make me or anyone else happy. | have conquered a few of the things one learns with the years, | saved my money, and finally have athletic urges even after the high school years, and last but not least | gave into my mothers' insistance to eat that "green food", she so persistantly put on my plate for all these years. | deeiied after 21 years of using all the mischevious ways possible of disposing of that food, | had to finally give in. | tried all the same tricks your child, or even you tried once. You know the tricks, hide them under the potatoes, use your napkin to discretly "spit" your food into, then quickly oxcuse fours and quickly and safely dispose of them with the familar "flush", in the other room. I often wondered what the sense is in, copking the food that children hate, because they never eat it. Maybe mothers do know best, that after several years of pressure, their child will break down and eat them. | am still not sure though, if they start because they acquire a taste for them, of they just plain run out of innovative solutions on how, to get rid of them. ~ Before | sign off from my first column I'd like to say, I'm very happy to have been accepted at the Port Perry Star, whether everyone else is having second thoughts or not. The staff is great, although a little crazy. | love working in Port Perry, I'm a native, dnd | like that when | am sent out on assignment, | know how to get to where | am going. | only recently realized how many people know me. The only problem | have faced up until now is that many people still ask, "What is that girl from the Port Perry |.G.A. deli going with that camera, doesn't she have some meat to slice?" | still see familar faces on the street,and people that smile and wave, and | know they remem- ber me from the Port Perry I1.G.A. My years at the Port Perry I.G.A. were great, | have my car, and my college education to thank them for. Now that | have left the I.G.A., | now can say | really liked my job, but nobody wants the boss to know that while still under their employ. With this infomation, they may have thought | liked coming to work at 7a.m.and staying until 9p.m. In five years | realized my bosses knew me too well as it was seldom | was ever asked to work before noon, and if | was | knew what they were thinking, "never ask Kelly how she is, until' after noon, she usually doesn't see that part of the day." I thought instead of the formal "Thanks" card, | would put my thank-yous in writing, for putting up with me for all those years. In closing | will just say, | know what you are all thinking, I hope she doesn't write about the time in the lunch room when..." Don't worry, for now all your deep dark secrets are safe with me." en, why torture ourselves by trying to change the way we like to Mom always puts on their plate. | take my hat off to these peo- a car with four wheels, | can call my own, | continued with my I ITIEIIEN----_------------ ea Ay ory cS rnd TE AI .
