COMPULSORY SAVINGSâ€" REFUND WILLâ€" AVERAGE $45 EACH Revenue Department colleciicns from income, corporation, profits and inheritancse taxes in the fiscal year ‘‘*ended March 3t, ‘1947,) amounted to $1,435,731,759 a drop of $199,762,947 from the 1944 wartime peak, Revenu: Minister McCann announced last Wedâ€" nesday. *‘ â€"In the annual report cn taxation statistics released by th>.Minister it You mav be sure that such an opporâ€" nity would not be overlooked. Indications are that last y ar‘s reâ€" cord surplus will be far surpassed at the end of the present fiscal year. This wiil be vositively determ‘n‘d when Finance Minister Abbott brings down his 1948 budget. Politically there is ample reason for exp:cting a lessen‘ng of the draw on our pocketbooks. With the government holding such a ‘slim majority in the House! there is the everâ€"pres nt posâ€" sibility of the Priine Minister calling an electicn.

Th.s conclusion is based upon the large surplus in financial cperations of the governmnt announced here recently. A surplus of $443.699,258 is shown thus far and by theâ€"end of the fiscal year, March 31, 1948, this should be 1 increased even mors. e i e C L C n n Nothing would prov> more attractive to the voters on their way to the polis than the knowledge that the Liberal Government had justâ€" announced a income taxes in 1945â€"46 and of this number there were 1,314,050 who had annual between $1,000 and $2,000. The total income Oof all taxâ€" payers was $4,967,116,000 and the EeV C eE t ~ This surplus has been brought about by cuts in expenses in the Department of Veterans‘ Affairs and the Defence Depariment, in addition to which there has been a ccnsiderable gain in cusâ€" toms collect.ons and excise taxes. While it is . impossible to predict the amount of the hoped for decreas> in income taxes for 1948 it is both financially and politically ucss ble that it will be a boor to Canada‘s "high cost of liv‘ng citizens." The cost of living index is based‘ upon 1936â€"39 lev:ls which were classed. at 100. In other words, where it costsi you $1.00 in 1939, it now costs you. $1.36 or a fraction mcre. ‘ Government cconomi.sts predict the r.se in Canada will be slow but steady, with the tr nd being constantly upâ€" pard to meet the U.

This figure the amount collécted from the taxpayers in 1942, 1943 and 1944 as compulsory savings. Repayment of the savings collected in 1942 is scheduled to star: prior to March 31, 1948. The r funds for 1943 will be made in 1949 and those for 1944 in 1950. COBT OF IJVING WILL CONTINUE UPWARD SPIRAL Canadian hous:holders had beiter hang tigh:ly to their purseâ€"strings acâ€" cording to forecasts cf government exâ€" perts. It has been estimated that the cost of living index will climb to about 141 by the (tnd of the year with anâ€" other fiveâ€"point riss in view during the follow‘ng 12 to 15 months. The extent of this rise can be gauged by the fact that approximately two w:eks ago, when ths last d:scontrol order came into effect, the cost of living stcod at 136. The devartment estimated. that 1.329.139 chequss, averaging $45 each, will be mail d to cover refunds for 1942.
