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) Heads of families receiving incomes in 1945 of $1200 or less will benefit to the extent of the full amount of the Pam. ily Allowances received. As they are not requiredto pay income tax, there is no ") duplication to remove: (b) Heads of families receiving incomes in 1945 in excess of $1200, but not in excess of $3,000, will sn effect retain the full value of their present incoine 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, applyforFatnily 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 33,000, 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 duly 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: 1.

For the relatively small number of single persons sup- porting children andnot having married status for income tax purposes and for members of the Armed. Forces, special tables can be obtained. from thelRegional Director of Family Allowances in each provincialcapital. of the actual Family Allowances received in the year 1945. Family Allowances will be paid in full In all cases, those 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 - From 6 to 9 . (inclusive) . From 10 to 12 (inclusive) . From 13 to 15 (inclusive) . $5.00 6.00 7.00 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 i ncome tax deductions at the source will be 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 isdrawn 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' allowances for servicemen's families and military pensions. - For, children registered' after July 1st, 1945, Family Allowances will be paid as from the month following the month when registration is made. Family Allowances are not paid retroactively. Published under• the authority of Hon. BROOKE CLAXTON, Minister, Department of National. Health and Welfare, Ottawa NOTE THESE TWO EXAMPLES 1.
