Toe-tappin' music on tap

Fiddlers expected from Alberta, the U.S, and around the province’

By FRANK ISERNIA
Sun staff writer

Friday, the local chapter of the
Old Time Fiddlers’ Association,
Kootenay Branch #9 is featuring a

of good old d
toe tappin’ fiddlin’ music as they
kick off their annual Fiddler's
Competition at the Castlegar and
District Community Complex.

“We're expecting 50 or more
entrants from the U.S., Vancouver
Island, the Lower Mainland, the
Okanagan, and Alberta,” ‘said co-
chairman Debbie Tompkins. “This
year we are focused on trying to
get more young kids involved.
We've got some really sharp kids
from the States who will com-
pete.”

The Association is holding an
open house jam session Friday
night while registrations for those
entering the competition are con-
ducted.

Preliminary finals will be held
throughout Saturday starting a 9:30
a.m., with the finals slated for 6:30
p.m, in the evening, and the public
is welcome to attend, Tickets will
be available at the door for $4,

The eight competition cate-
gories include, two junior (under
12 & 18); seniors (65 and over); a
limited category for those who
haven't played very often; novice(
for those who have played for less
than two years); and an open and
championship category open to
anyone. This year, the competition
will feature a duet category for the
first time. Locally, there are only
two youngsters competing, howev-
er organizers expect eight or nine
youngsters from Creston to enter.

Tompkins explained that if a
contestant wins first place in one
caiegory he cannot enter the same
category twice, but is eligible to
enter another. The field of com-
petitors will be narrowed down to.
five finalists,.with three prizes for
first, second and third awards... ~

Following the prize presenta-
tions, out-of-town fiddlers will
Play stints during the dance held at
the Complex. Dance tickets will
sell for $6 each,

“This year we have received a
lot of community support. Local
merchants have donated lots of
prizes,” she said. “ We're extreme-
ly grateful to all who have sup-
ported us."

¥,

Another look at the GST

It's tims to take another look at
the Goods and Services Tax —
with an eye to saving and making
as much money as possible
whether you are employed, self-
employed or don’t work outside

home.

Evelyn Jacks, author of Jacks
on GST (McGraw-Hill, $8.95),
says consumers can’t avoid the
GST, short of buying fewer goods

services, ‘

“So concentrate on lowering
your (family) net income as much
as possible to enable you to claim
some or all of the GST credit —
with can run as high as several
hundred dollars a year,” said the
Winnipeg-based Jacks, who man-
ages Canada’s largest correspon-
dence tax school and education,
policies and procedures for the

20 branches of H & R Tax Ser-
vices.

Even if family net income is
more than around $25,000, you
should still qualify for some of the
GST credit.

“To help reduce that net
income figure, which appears on
line 236 of your tax retum, make
sure you claim every possible
deduction.” said Jacks,

Look for, among others, maxi-
mum RRSP contributions, safe
deposit box rental, interést paid to

buy Canada Savings Bonds on the
payroll plan, all eligible moving
expenses, child care expenses
(which can include, within limits,

summer camp costs) and so on,

If you are an employee who can
claim travel, promotion, office-in-
the-home and other expenses, “be
sure to keep track of all receipts
and show the GST you pay,” Jacks
said.

“Starting with this, 1991, tax
year, you will be able to file a sep-
arate GST rebate form when you
do your tax return at the beginning
of 1992.”

That will pay off because a full
rebate of the GST is worth more
than a deduction.

For example, let’s say you pay
$321, which includes $21 GST,
and you are in the 45-per-cent tax
bracket.

If you simply deduct the $321,
you will reduce your tax be
$144.45 (45 per cent of $321). But

if you claim your GST rebate, your
total tax savings will be $156
(rebate of $21, plus $5 per cent of
$300).

Jacks said consultants, free-
lancers and people who mun a small
business out of theirhomes appear
to be having the most trouble with
the GST.

“If your self-employment
income is less than $30,000, you
don’t have to register for the GST,”
she said. “But that means you are
not allowed to claim input tax cred-
its — rebates — for the GST you
pay on your business expenses,

“Because you can't recover this
extra cost, you probably have to
raise your prices, which your cus-
tomers may not like.”

The reason? Most businesses
charge GST on the goods and ser-
vices they sell. So they claim an
input tax credit for the GST paid
on goods and services they bu:
from consultants and other suppli-
ers.
But if the suppliers don’t charge
the GST and simply. raise prices,
the businesses end up with a
deduction rather than a combina-
tion of deduction and tax credit —
as in the previous example.

Let's say you charge Company
A $1,000 for the work you do. If
you are registered to collect GST,

Mr. Talarico for his time. Gordon
Brady was a guest of the Auxiliary
and was also impressed with the
new facility.

On March 18, 1991, the Auxil-
iary held its regular monthly meet-
ing in the Hospital Board Room.
New members were welcomed to
the Auxiliary. They are Anita
Tomlin, Connie Bullanoff,
Michelle Hyde and Susan

dunec,

The Auxiliary had the pleasure
of meeting the new Long Term
Care Director, Linda Moorlag.
Linda spoke to the members on
her experiences with nursing,
especially dealing with the long
term residents. She also briefed the
Auxiliary on how other Auxiliaries
functioned. The members thanked
Linda for her words of wisdom
and advice. She was also thanked
for coming and making time for
them from her busy schedule. The
Auxiliary members look forward
to volunteering their services in
the new unit.
