Hand it over to understanding experts who have behind them over eighty years of experience in tailoring mortgages to suit individual needs, Solve your problem today At Victoria and Grey. Q. I've heard a lot about the registration of Charitable Organizations for income tax purposes. As a donor to some charities, what should I know about this? A. Canadian Charitable,Organiz- ations issuing' receipts for income tax purposes must be registered, and all receipts is- sued for donations must show the • registration number of the organ- ization. If you have received a receipt which, doesn't show this number, you should get in touch with the organization and obtain a proper receipt. q. Can I claim the mortgage payments on my residence as a • deduction from my income when filing my tax return? A. No. Those are personal ex- penditures and therefore not deductible. Q. My wife died a year ago and I have had' to retain a house- keeper to care for the children and do domestic chores. Can I claim an income tax deduction or exemption for her? A. You may not claim any de- duction or exemption for your housekeeper, as such, but , be- cause you are a widower and need to employ a housekeeper to care for your children, you are entitled' to 'claim the $1,000 equivalent married , exemption for one of your, children, and also claim the usual $300 or $A90,„empt- I.ort for that -r...c.144ac.,r4qtails I `" of chow you e' tng”datitil. are shOwn on the Income Tax Return. Q. I support my son who is at university. His income for the year - minus his tuition fees - comes to $980. I am told that when filing my tax 'return I can apply the Notch Provision. What does this 'mean? A. This means that, in order to claim your son as a dependant, you must add the amount by which his income exceeds $950, in your case $30, to your tax.' You will have to use the "Detailed, Tax Calculation" method to determine Your 'Federal and Provincial Tax pay- able and show the $30 as a "Tax Adjustment" in the spaces pro-. vided. • Q. My father qualifies as a de- pendant and each year on my tax form I have to fill in all the information regarding his age, income, etc. Is, it not possible for me to just put "see last year's return" so th,at I do not have to fill in the same details each year? A. If you omit any of this infor- mation on your tax form, you are probably going to delay the pro- cessing of your return, therefore, enter all the information asked for . . age, relationship to you, net income, etc. Q. My wife and I are separated but 'we do not have any formal separation agreement. However I do pay her an allowance. How do I go about claiming this al- lowance on my income tax return? A. In the absence of a written agreement or court order, you may not claim the allowance as a deduction. However, if the allow- ance is sufficiently large to con- stitute support, you are entitled to claim married exemption as 41 you were still living together. Q. I am a waitress and I receive tips. My Canada Pension Plan contributions have been calcul- ated on my basic salary but, if I can include the amount of rrry tips, it would enable me to pay almost the full Canada Pension plan contribution. Am I allowed to pay in extra' contribution, and if so how do I set about doing this? A. Yes, you may make additional Canada Pension Plan contribut- ions based on the income you have received in tips. It will be necessary for you to use a T1 General Tax Return. You may make contributions on the ad111 1001-Worn e lowebave ea >t Tips, at a rate of 3.6%. Q. I bought land in 1965 at a half-crop-share basis and this half share 1)i.ras sold in the vendor's name. Do I have to pay income tax on the half share that was paid to the vendo'r? A. Yes. The half share that is sold in the vendor's name is your income and the subsequent pay- ment to the vendor is considered to be an instalment on the pur- chase price and is not deductible. two boys, James and Grant of Tuckersmith and six grand- children.
