REPORT FROM
QUEEN'S PARK
BY MURRAY GAUNT
M.P.P. HURON-BRUCE
The big news this -week was the
budget brought down, by Treasurer
Darcy McKeough.
Government spending has in-
creased to $13.6 billion', up 9%
over last year.
The deficit is expected to, hit
1.0777 billion, but the Treasurer
said the object is to balance the
budget by 1980. The Treasurer's
tax increases will total 209 million;
tax cuts, 201 million.
The 'budget promised 3356 new
jobs in the construction industry
and 25,000 more summer jobs for
young people, but even with this
new initiative this will provide jobs
for, only a fraction of the 300,000
unemployed in the Province.
The Government is increasing its
tobacco tax, raising it by Sc on a
pack of twenty- cigarettes. It will
also raise registration fees for all
motor vehicles in Southern Ontario
- an eight cylinder goes from $40.
to $60.; a six from $32. to $45.; and
a four from $23. to $30. - and slash
them back to a flat $10. in the
north, to help pay for its job
creating measures.
The Treasurer also will slap a
Sc-a-can, environmental tax on all
canned soft drinks, effective June
1st.
Other provisions in the budge(
include:
1) Raising of the sales tax
exemption on restaurant meals
from $5. to $6.
2) Exemption of all thermal
insulation materials from the 7%
sales tax, including heat pumps,
wood stoves. solar energy systems_
and windmills.
3) Modification of the controversial
20% land transfer tax against
foreigners.
4) Cutting by half, to five years, thf
time "a purchaser must wait to avoid
payment,of the land speculation tax
on an investment property.
5) Raising from $250,000. to
$300,000. the level at which death
taxes are payable.
6) Amendment of the gift tax to
double present allowances, permit-
ting gifts up to $10,000.1a year and
$50,000. for a donor to be exempt
from gift tax.
7) Incentives to small business.
through increased compensation
for tax collection, a simplified
capital tax charge and reintryduc-•
tion of last year's Venture Invest-
ment Corporations legislation.
An act allowing weekly newspap-
ers greater leeway in accepting
election advertising has become
the first private member's bill to be
passed in the Ontario Legislature in
25 years. The bill was given second
and third reading, and it allows
weeklies to accept election ads for
the issue that will be distributed
the day before polling day.
