Awahloweres
AND INCOME TAX
er HE following announcement will help to clarify
1 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-
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:
(a) Heads of families receiving incomes
in 1945 of $1200 or less will benefit 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.
(b) Heads of families receiving incomes
in 1945 in excess of $1200,, but not in
excess of $3,000, will m effect retain 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.
Family Allowances will be paid hi 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 $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 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 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 toot taxable.
gamily Allowances are also additional to dependents'
allowances for servicemen's families and military
pensions.
For children registered after July 1st, 1945, Fatally
Allowances Will be paid as itom the month following
the Month when registration is made. Family Allowances
are not paid retroactively.

how the church—which in 1927 be-
came a COnference of the Church of
Christ in China—followed the people
as they migrated to western cities, and
provided play schools, orphanages and
industrial schools. When the mission-
aries had to leave the Christians sent
this Message back to Canada with
them--"(Though we in Occupied China
seem to compromise we will never be
untrue to Jesus Christ, and we hope
for the day when Canadians will be
back."
