They're the new tax returns Revenue Canada has mailed to mest taxpayers, Last year's were. tinted yellow, next year they'll be pink But this year, when taxpayers have to relearn doens of rules thanks to tax teform, Canadians are getting the blues, And ‘if you thought tax reform meant tax sim plification, consider this: * The new return has about half a dozen more,lines than the old * Revenue Canada has produced -480 separate Publications to explain the fine points © The main tax guide providing step-by-step in structions is fatter this year. The version for Ontario residents, for example, is 64 pages versus 56 last year * Some common schedules that used to be part of the main package — such as child-care expense forms are no longer included, forcing some taxpayers to ortler them specially from Revenue Canada © Firms that prepare tax returns for a fee are ex pecting a boom year as taxpayers cry uncle after wrestling with the new returns FORMS CONFUSE “When they started talking about tax reform a few years back, one of the top priorities was simplification of the taxsystem,”” says Douglas Connell, an Ottawa tax expert with the accounting firm Touche Ross. “But simplification seemed to get pushed further and further down the list of priorities until .... sim plification was really not talked about at all.”” The new forms will perplex many taxpayers who built up some personal expertise based on the old retur ns, said Henry Zimmer author a~€algary-taxexpert and “This year, the problem is that you can’t really go Anda lot of people who haven't really followed what's going line by line and compare last year with this year on are going to get lost.” As the tax filing deadline of April 30 approaches, consider whether you need to struggle with the form at all. Those with no tax Tiability in 1988-because-theirin. come was too low are not required to file “However, if you're in that situation then you're probably eligible for either the child tax credit or the federal sales tax credit,”* says Connell, inwhich case you must file to claim the money A couple of familiar deductions disappear this Taxpayers must learn new rules year, so don't waste time hunting for them, They're the $500 employment expense deduction and (he $1,000 in terest deduction, both victims of tax reform. Now every cent of interest earned is taxable. But the biggest change lurks on page 2 familiar deductions have been converted to credits ad of reducing your taxable income by a basic personatexemption, which was $4,220 tast-year; you now get a “basic personat credit’ of $6,000, But you can claim only 17 percent of this tax credit, which means it reduces your taxes by $1,020, Here’s‘another example: if you were born before 1923, you now get a tax credit of 17 per cent of $3,236 Revenue Canada . where many (the now-defunct age deduction) Tequires you to make that valculation instead of telling you the answer — $550.12 The new regime of credits does help low-income people and reduces tax breaks for the'fich. But instead of supplying the new numbers, the tax return forces the taxpayer to do the mathematics *“1t- seemsto.unnecessarily complicate things,” says Connell Remember as well there are two kinds of credits Most of the old deductions that have been converted in to credit are “non-refundable” — if they reduce your taxable income to zero you can’t claim the balance of the credit as cash But refundable tax credits, such as the chitd tax credit or-the federal sales tax credit, remain as they were last year. You can use them to claim money from the government if you owe no tax If you claim rental income or child-care expenses every year, the taxman has not included them in the standard package this year “This is something that people better find ott real early, "says Zimmer “Anybody who claimed child care in the past has been used to having the child-care statement att&ched to the tax package separate form and you have to obtain it from your local The child-care expense form is now a office 7 ‘It’s much more of a problem if you don’t live ina major urban centre.”” The_government also requires_much_more_infor mation than it did previously on some schedules, such as those to determine deductible car expenses, Zimmer says. The actual implementation of the new rules is a disaster,"* he says. ‘*There's a heck of a lot of bookkeeping that has to be done to comply Steel alloy plant to be built in Nanaimo NANAIMO (CP) "A $41 steel alloy plant that will employ about million $00-people will be built in this cast Vancouver Island city VanderZalm said The plant will be built by U.S, in dustrialist J.P.
