0.P.Scribe Tests New Tax Returns

(By George Kitchen. Canadian Press Staff Writer)

OTTAWA, Dec. Hk-(CP: -'1'.he government says you can fill oui. its new simplified income isx re- turn in loss than 20 minutes. You can—hui you hnvc to be fast.

l did Ii in l7 minutes and eight sncontls. vvcn wiih iho handicap of cluttering tclcu-pc machines around mo. - The zovcrnment unveiled the new form today. with the proud honst that most persons can fill it out In loss than 20 minutes. It as for use by all persons whose earn- orl income comes solely from sni- aries. Wrigrs and pensions and whose investment income doesn't go hoynnri $1.800 for the year.

The form is a concise, pocket-siz- ed folder of Inur pages which gives iho calculations in easy-io-read lan- guage. There are none of the com- plex cross-references used in the old-style rPiurns, such as this gem out of a 1941 tax form:

"P. tax on item 10-0 3 1-2 per ccnt or 5 per cent (item 23v." v

In n comparable case. the new form just refers you to a simplified table.

I tested the form on the basis of a married man earning $3.640 s year and having no children. A tax- payer with rllllclrctl will have to make one or two additional entries to rover family-allowance pay- ments. hut he still should be within lthe 20-minute limit.

The first page consists of entries

Personal Exemptions

Tho second page‘ lists claims fnr personal exemptions. Following ntmibrrctl paragraphs. the married taxpayer with no children sets down $750 for himself and $750 for his wife. niving him total personal nxomplinns of $1.500. If he has de- pendents, the exemptions will he hither. '

The third page is headed "your income anti deductions." My test figure of $3.640 went under the heading of salaries. wages and pen- sions. The next three items allow- ed deductions oi’ $182 for pension plan payments, $36 for medical ex- penses and $15 for charitable dona- tions. These. plus the personal ex- emption of $1.500. brought the tax- able income to $1.907.

A simplified table nn the fourth page shnwoti the lax on that amount to he S351. .

The final calculation brings the

$3.640-salaried taxpayer a. pleas- ant surprise. Entered in s small. four~lined column and plsceri

against. the $377 already paid in salary taxation deductions during the year. it shows that the govern- ment. come next April 30, is going to owe the taxpayer $26.
