Making the recent federal budget work for you Tax advisers always relax a little after a “no news” fede budget like thé latest one. It's a relief to find virtually no tax rule changes existing strategies can continue at least until the next budget “But just make sure you do indeed take advantage of the vari- ous personal fax planning oppor- tunities which might be here today but could well be gone tomorrow,” said Donna Zinkewich, of Price Waterhouse, chartered accountants. Before we look at some of those opportunities, let's review what steps you could take to deal with the one personal tax change the budget did propose Starting September 15, 1994, you will have to pay quarterly tax instalments if you expect a tax bill (federal plug provincial tax) of more than $2,000 on your current year's income (in addition to fax withheld at source) and also had to send Revenue Canada more than $2,000 tax in either of the two pre- vious years (again, in additign to the tax already Withheld). This could happen if you have investment or self-employment inceme or receive alimony, for example. The simplest way to avoid quarterly instalments is to have more tax withheld at source so your extra tax bill April 30 will not exceed $2,000. If you are more aggressive, you might be able to pay less tax in advance by doing the calculation each December and making a single payment to your tax account by year end. Turning back to what the budget didn’t change, Price Waterhouse’s Zinkewich cited the following key areas: Capital gains exemption RISK: Once again this exemp- tion has survived but at any time Ottawa could further restrict or eliminate this tax break - as it did with investment real estate in the 1992 budget.
