OFA opposes indexed loans The federal government's proposed scheme on indexed loans and deposits is aimed at giving a break to the investor, not the borrower. This was the conclusion reached in the Ontario Federation of Agriculture's (OFA). brief to the Lortie Committee, which has been studying infla- tion and taxation of personal investment in- come: In its brief, the OFA said that "in terms of net benefit to a farmer, indexed loans are only marginally superior to standard Farm Credit Corporation (FCC) loans and substantially inferior to the OFA proposed Agri -bond loans." The government is suggesting the in- troduction of interest-bearing loans and deposits designed to separate "real" , in- terest from the portion of mterest income that reflects the rate of inflation. Investors won't be taxed on the portion . of interest earned that is equal to the inflation rate. The borrower won't be able to deduct this amount as an expense. The loans would be restricted to purchases of new, depreciable assets. In its brief, the OFA pointed out that the indexed loan idea- would return a much , greateramount to investors than necessary to attract funds. "This makes the loans more costly than need be," the OFA said, "if the Abject of the scheme is to raise money for making low interest loans too targeted borrowers such as farmers.", The briefshowed that an agri-bond would be better for a fanner than a conventional loan, an FCC loan, or an indexed loam, since it has the lowest mterest rate, and interest expenses for agri-bonds would be fully deductible. An agri-bond is an interest-bearing in- strument that may be redeemed .c `ace. value upon maturity. Investors v•-• • . , get special tax considerations on . the h:a:ost from an agri-bond, encouraging them to in- vest at a lower interest rate. This would pro- vide farmers with a low-cost source of • money. If an investor bought an agri-bond for a face value of $10,000 maturing in, say, 10 years, he would get yearly interest, and at. - the end of a .decade, cash the bond for.. $10,000. The brief said the government's proposal is targeted at the high income depositor. In- vestors in a' higher tax bracket, over 30 per- cent marginal tax rate, would prefer index- ed deposits to conventional ones or agri- bonds. But from the public perspective, the brief goes on to say, .agri-bonds hve the ad- vantage of leaving an investor neutral ,in choosing between it and existing investment opportunities. If indexed deposits are introduced, the OFA said in its brief, the ability of the FCC to raise capital either through normal bonds or agri-bonds would be affected. The FCC would be going after the same group of peo- ple who would be interested, in indexed deposits: Lions projects donate $8,500 Tins lottery The winner of this week's Jamboree '83 lottery is Terry Merkley of Wingham.
