Q. My employer pays me
allowance to cover my board and
room while I 'am working at
distant work sites away from my
ordinary place of residence where
I support my wife and family.
Previously, I was told that this
had to be included in income for
income tax purposes because I
was not a construction worker. I
understand that this n,o longer
applies. Is this correct?
A. Yes. This exempting provision
now applies to all workers
employed at a distant work site
providing they meet the other
necessary conditions.
Q I arrived in Canada in April of
1973 and I am told that I have to
prorate my $100 standard
deduction for .medical fees and
charitable donations when filing
my income tax return. What does
this mean?
A, As explained in the Guide
which accompanies your tax
return, you need report only the
income you earned after you
arrived in Canada. On the other
' hand, you are not entitled to claim
,personal exemptions and the
standard deduction for the full
year. For example, if yOn arrived
in Canada on April 15 you would
have resided here for 260 of the
365 days of 1973 and would be
entitled to claim a standard
I deduction of 260/365 of $100 or
$71.23 instead of $100. Your )
personal exemption would be
calculated in a similar- way.
Q. Do 1 have to get receipts for
