Lawson Glasgow, president of the Investment Dealers' Associ- ation, termed this a beneficial move that would help reaffirm foreign confidence in Canada. Mr. Gordon's budget looked to continued economic buoy- ancy, ¢ombined with revenue boosts built in by last year's budget, to swell his budgetary revenues by 7.9. per cent to $6,- 700,000,000 in 1964-65. Budgetary expenditures are forecast at $7,155,000,000, up 3.8 per cent. On top of the resulting one- third cut in the budgetary defi- cit, the operations of the non- budgetary old age pension fund are expected to switch from a $64,000,000 deficit to a $15,000,- 000 surplus. _ |MAY BE LOSER tA, The pr it of the C di Manufacturers' Association, H. Roy Crabtree, said Mr, Gordon may well be the loser in the long run by his decision not to cut taxes. Lower taxes could very well stimulate the economy, generat- ing even higher revenues and eliminating the deifcit sooner, he said, But his view wasn't unani- mous. George Mooney, presi- dent of the Canadian. Federa- tion of Mayors and Municipali- ties, said the budget policy "bill be a disappointment to wishful tax-cut thinkers and a tonic to those who still believe in economie common sense." The budget announced that the government plans legisla- tion to encourage life insurance companies to invest more of) their funds in Canadian com- mon stocks. Present law limits them to a maximum ceiling of 15 per cent of their investments in stocks, and officials said companies are well below this ceiling. J. T. Bryden, president of North American Life Assurance company, said some companies will buy more stocks if present regulations are relaxed. But prices and yields would remain the major factors in any deci- sion, ISN'T EXCITING David A. Gilbert, national general manager of the Retail Merchants Association of Can- ada, described the budget as un- exciting and unimaginative. "I think it's a source of dis- appointment to a large number} of taxpayers." But he added that such a bud- get could have been expected, because of the report due from THE OSHAWA TIMES, ry Wednerdey, Merch 18, 1964 99 Federal Tax Laws Loopholes Plugged OTTAWA (CP)--A handful of, loopholes and awkward spots ip federal tax laws were tidied up in Monday's budget, including one which allowed older of dath tax. They were among a variety of changes not specifically men- tioned in Finance Minister Gor- don's budget speech, but con- tained in tax-change resolutions that will come up for legislative action in the Commons later in the session. One change in the estate tax act is designed to rule out a complicated device being used by some people to reduce their, estate tax. Officials described the problem this way: A person who normally couldn't get a life insurance policy because of age or sick- ness makes a deal with a life the Carter royal commission on taxation. insurance company to buy an annuity on condition he is given people to create a sizeable estate free ae oe tas oe eee Oe an insurace policy."The com- pay agrees, expe he'll not! live long and won't collect much of the annuity. When the man dies, his life insurance proceeds tax purposes. ESCAPED TAX One official said substantial amounts of money have es- caped tax by this device. 'Under the tax change, effec- tive from Tuesday on insurance policies sold conditional on an- nuity purchases, the taxable es- tate after death will include either the amount paid for the annuity less annuity ri be- fore death, or the amount of life insurance payable, whichever amount is the lesser. Another estate tax change will permit $2,500, instead of the present limit of $1,500, to be paid from the joint bank ac- count of a deceased person with- out the need for a clearance from the revenue department.
