group celebrating 20 years in the mutual fund business after the trustees heard the cost of doing this in jk and kinder garten they felt it would be too much money at this tune he said hidden tax benefits if you can find them hindsight is only worthwhile when it makes a positive difference this is never more true than at tax time when your returns are in the mail and a friend mentions how their chartered accountant found several hidden tax benefits which saved them hardearned tax dollars consider the following selection of tax saving ideas you might hear mentioned by that friend after you have filed your 1994 return have you heard of the capital gains exemption did you know that it disappeared on february 22 1994 did you take advantage of the special capital gains election that allows you to utilize this exemption for one last time on your 1994 tax return its often thought that you must be selfemployed to get any deduc tions from income however even the lowly employee can in some cases deduct expenses incurred to earn in come if they are required by their employer to pay those expenses per sonally the type of employment and the terms of your employment con tract both have a bearing on the kind and amount of deductions you can use its a matter of interpretation the best person to consult is a pro fessional who knows how to best advise that person is a chartered accountant one of the most misunderstood and misused potential tax benefits involves the concept of income split ting there are still a number of perfectly legal methods whereby dif ferent types of income can be trans ferred to a spouse or a minor child despite the fact that successive fed eral budgets have tended to place more and more restrictions on their availability when medical expenses are claimed it is not simply a matter of compiling all receipts for the past year from january to december it may have been to your advantage to choose a different twelve month pe riod ending in 1994 to use for the claim in order to maximize your medical deductions and thus save additional tax dollars medical expenses include those incurred by you your spouse and your dependants and can be claimed by either spouse in a family unit however- as arulejofjhumb the- spouse with the lowernet income should be the one tomake the claim money clips if maximum benefits are to be real ized if you include medical expenses for dependants other than your spouse who earn income from part- time jobs be careful that the inclu sion of those expenses doesnt actu ally reduce the overall tax credit re ceived the claiming of medical ex penses can be tricky this is another area where professional counselling becomes invaluable if you were not aware of these rather basic tax planning ideas there is no reason to be ashamed most people are in the same boat and the majority of canadians who do their own returns or have them prepared at nonprofessional franchised out lets are not taking full advantage of tax deductions and benefits conse quently they are paying revenue canada more than their fair share of the tax burden revenue canada often tries to give direction in the tax preparation guide they provide with your return but too many times they just hint at possible tax savings or are com pletely silent on the subject one of the best ways to make certain that you have accessed all the deductions and benefits avail able to you is to have your tax return prepared by a chartered accountant someone who is a yearround pro fessional experienced in dealing with tax issues and who has many year of training and education to draw upon hagermangreenfield have the experience to know where those tax deductions and benefits might be hiding contrary to conventional wis dom the cost of utilizing the exper tise of a chartered accountant does not have to be prohibitive in fact you will find that our fees for preparing personal income tax returns are com parable to franchised tax preparers who only
