Look At Your Label — 4,,aheotwerecsa AND INCOME TAX PTIHE following announcement will help to clarify the relationship between Family Allowances and Income Tax credits for dependent children. Family Allowances are payable from July 1st, 1945, and the registration of children is now taking place. The Family Allowances Act was designed to help equalize opportunities for all children, and when the Act was passed, Parliament approved the prin- ciple that there should be no duplication of benefits by way of Family Allowances and Income Tax credits for the same child. An amendment to the Income War Tax Act will be made to deal with this duplication. In the meantime, however, the Govern- (a)es in 1945 receiving of $ i 200or lesswillbenefit to' the extent of the full amount of the Fam- ily Allowances received. As they are not required to pay income tax, there is no duplication to remove. comes ) Heas 1945iof lof $1200lles but in nexcess not in excess of $3,000, will in effect xetain the full value of their present income tax credits and in addition a percentage of the actual Family Allowances received. (c) Heads of families with incomes in excess of $3,000 will retain their full income tax credits for children if they do not receive Family Allowances. These taxpayers may, however, apply for Family Allowances to protect themselves against a possible decrease in income at a later date which might bring them into a lower income range where they would benefit from Family Allowances. In such cases if the income remains in excess of $3,000, the income tax credits for child- ren would be reduced by the full amount of Family Allowances received. ment,proposes, for the last six months of 1945 dur: ing which Family Allowances are payable, to re- move duplication by adjusting the income tax credits received for children. It is natural that parents in the low income groups will be expected to receive maximum benefits from Family Allowances. Partial benefits will be received, however, by parents with incomes up to $3,000. The table below shows the effect of the adjust- ments which the Government has decided to make. For convenience and simplicity the benefits received by each income group are shown as a per cent of the Family Allowances received. The table shows: TABLE SHOWING EFFECT OF ADJUSTMENT FOR 1945 AMOUNT OF TAXABLE INCOME Not over $1200 . . 100% .Over $1200 but not over '1400 . . 90% " 1400 " " " 1600 . . 80% " " " 1800 . . 70% • . 60% . . 50% • • 40% ▪ 30% • . 20% . . 10% • • Oa% • Percent by which taxpayers will benefit from Family Allowances in addition to present income tax credits, for 1945, " 1600 " 1800 " " " 2000 " 2006 " " " 2200 " 2200 " " " 2400 " 2400 `" " "" 2600 " 2500 " " " 2800 " 2800 " " " 3000 3000 of the actual Family Allowances received in the year 1945. NOTE:—This-table applies to married persons and others having the status of married persons foF income tax purposes. For the relatively small number of single persons sup- porting children and not having married status for income tax purposes, and for members of the Armed Forces, special tables can be obtained from the Regional Director of Family Allowances in each provincial capital, Family Allowances will be paid in full In all casesthose who apply for and are eligible to receive Family Allowances will receive them in full, month by month. See scale below: SCALE OF MONTHLY ALLOWANCES FOR THE FIRST FOUR CHILDREN For each child Under 6 . $5.00 From 6 to 9 . (inclusive) . 6.00 From 10 to 12 (inclusive) . 7.00 From 13 to 15 (inclusive) . 8.00 Where there are more than four children under 16 in the family, the monthly allow- ance for each child after the fourth will be reduced in accordance with the provi- sions of the Family Allowances Act. As far as is possible, to take care of the adjustments' necessary to avoid duplication of benefits, current income tax deductions at the source will he adjusted to take into account the new situation when Family Allowance pay- ments commence. This will avoid placing an awkward burden on the taxpayers at the end of the year. FAMILY ALLOWANCES ARE NOT TAXABLE Special attention is drawn to the fact that the income ranges used in the table above refer to taxable income, and any amounts received as Family Allowances should not therefore be included in calculating income for this purpose because Family Allowances are not taxable. Family Allowances are also, additional to dependents'' alloances . for seivicenien's famthes ani' Military pensiwons. For children registered after July Y"e"a; 1945, Family Allowances will be paid as ]Frim the month following the month when registration is made: Family Allowances ate not paid retroactively.
