Better early than never SUBMITTED The Kootenay Lake Summer School of the Arts announced a new policy today. Entitled Better Early Than Never, this new poli- cy 1s seen as a radical shift from former policy of Better Late Than Never. “The old policy just didn't work,” said KLSSA spokesper- son Jeff George. “We're operating a large school here, with 65 courses and hundreds of students, and both instructors and students need to know in advance if a class has sufficient registration to run. What we're saying to students is, if you want to register for a sum- mer school course, do it early. If you delay, the course may be can- celled.” The first deadlines for suffi- cient registration are fast approaching. Art Therapy with Monica Gold, Cultivating a relationship with Muse and Ancient Art of Feltmaking with textile artist Maggie Tchir all begin in early July. Interested students should register as soon as possible at the KLSSA office at 802 Baker Street, or phone 352-2402 for more information. June 19 Happy Birthday Nicole!

A holiday away from taxes? A less taxing holiday is possible Would you like to take a little holiday from taxes when you go on your regular holiday? You might be able to, as long as you can mix some business with your pleasure. And you don’t have to go as far as becoming a full-time travel writer, for example This area is well worth exploring. Success means hav- ing holidays that are less taxing on your finances. Let’s say you take a $5,000 holiday. You are in the 41-per-cent tax bracket You are able to deduct $2,000 of your expenses. That will save you $820 — enough to give the holiday fund a kick start toward your next trip. But tread carefully. Revenue Canada doesn't hand out tax dollars easily. The key: If you have (or could have) any self-employ- ment activity involving travel, you should be able to deduct at least part of your expenses. And those deductions can really add up over the years. If your taxable income is more than $30,000 a year, you save between 41 and 50 cents of tax for every dollar deducted. Even with taxable income below $30,000 a year, you still Save at least 27 cents tax for every dollar deducted Revenue Canada allows you to deduct expenses you incur if Syndicated Columnist your business has “a reasonable expectation of profit.” (In a future column I'll take a closer look at the guidelines Revenue Canada uses.)

With a lower profit margin than most large retailers, the fees charged by card companies were too high for grocery stores. “It wasn’t until the cost went down that we were able to start accept- ing cards,” Lougheed added. The main emphasis of the sys- tem is on debit cards, rather than the credit cards though. With a Bank of Montreal client card, customers Can now use the sys- tem to directly transfer funds from their bank accounts in order to pay for their groceries. For customers, using the debit card will be like paying cash, with the added convenience of not having to guess how much cash they will need before the head to Safeway.

If a customer has one of the new Air Miles Master Cards, they will receive double points if the card is used for grocery purchases at the store. Safeway has been trying to work all the bugs out of the computer system before they go on-line across the province. They had originally planned to have the system operational in May, the same time the Air Miles program started in the store.
