Here's the third instalment
of timely income tax tips of.
fered by the News.Record to
help readers solve the annual
puzzle.
Q, Why are there two numbers
on my income tax form?
A. The number which is
printed on the forni along with
your name and address is a
special account number which is
made up from letters from your
surname, your date of birth and
other identifying factors. If your
name is Smith this number
positively identifies you among
the 50,000 Smiths in Canada.
It also enables the computer
to match your return with that
of last year and• thus speed
up processing. The other
number shown on the income
tax form is the social insurance
number, which is used to record
payment into the Canada Pen.
sion Plan and Unemployment In.
surance matters. In any corre.
spondence with the Department
it is important to use the account
number or social insurance
number 'to avoid any unneces.
sary delay in locating your,file,
Q. Is it necessary for a
farmer to pay his income tax
by instalments?
A. The Income Tax Act re.
quires payment of 2/3 of the
tax by December 31 and the
balance by the following April
30,
Q. I am a married man,
aged 67. My wife, became, 65
in 166'7, When' Completing iny
1966 income tax return, I
claimed $1,500 basic exernP•
tion for myself, plus $1,000
for my wife. Now that she is
over 65, may I increase that
exemption for her to $1,500?
A. No, The additional $500
exemption applies only to you.
Of course, if your wife files
a return of her own she would
be entitled to claim the addl.,
tional $500 exemption on hex
return, but this would not affect
your exemption for her.
Q. I belong to hospital and
medical insurance plans at
work. Can I claim the pr emiums
for these plans as medical ex.
penses?
A. No, However, you may
claim medical expenses paid
for you by an insurance plan,
as well as hospital expenses
except those covered by a pro..
vincial government hospital
plan. The statements you re.
ceive from the plan should show
whether or not the amounts
can be included in your claim
for medical expenses.
Q. Can a farmer pay wages
to his family and claim the
expehse?
A, Full details will be found
on page 6 of the Farmer's and
Fisherman's Guide.
Q. I started a new business
in 1967. Can you tell me what
depreciation I can claim?
A. Capital cost allowance,
sometimes referred to as de.
preciation, is allowed as a de.
duction. The rates vary with the
type (class) of asset.
'For example: Class 10 -cars
trucks etc. 30%; Class 6-frame
and stucco braidings 10%; Class
3 - steel, brick and concrete
buiIdiags, 5%.
Rates for other assets may
be obtained by reference' to the
Income Tax Regula,tions or at
your local district taxation of.
!Jae. Special rates may apply
to assets of a, farmer or fisher.
man. For these, see the
Farmer'sand Fisherman's
Guide.
Q, I paid $1,500 in alimony
to my former wife last year.
Can I claim all of this or just
the married exemption of
$1,0011?
A. Provided it qualifies under
the Inoome Tax Act, you may
deduct the whole $1,500. There
is no dollar limit on the amount
of alimony that may qualify for
dednction from income.
Q. Is the reserve portion of
a patronage dividend taxable?
A. Yes, both the cash and
reserve portion must be in.
eluded in income except in cases
of consumer goods.
Q. I am supporting a brother
who is attending university. Can
I claim him as a dependant?
A. If his income for, 1967
was not more than $950 and no
one else claims him as a de.
pendant you.may claim exemp.
lion for any amountyouc,ontrib.
uted to his support up to $550.,
If your father, or brothers and
sisters are also contributing to
his support and the total contrib.
uted is more than $550, you
will have to agree among you.
selves how the $550 exemption
will be divided among you.
Q. My child became 16 during
the year and I received family
allowance for the first part of
the year. Can , I calico $550
and do I have to repay the
family allowance to do this.?
A. You can claim the $550
exemption for a child who
reached 16 years of age at any
time during the year, the amount
of family allowances received
for the child during the year
before his birthday does not
make any difference and does
not have to be repaid in order
to claim the exemption.
Q. I was transferred to an.
other city in 1967 arid we decided
to rent, rather than sell, our
house. I understand I can de.•
duct capital cost allowance from
my rental income but what do
I use for a capital cost figure?
We lived in the house for years
and, with the improvements we
made It's worth a lot more
than we paid for it originally.
A, You are entitled to claim
capital cost .allowance on the
amount you could have sold your
home for when you started to
rent it, minus the value of the
land.
