Where there are more than four children under 16 in the fanily, the moothly allowâ€" ance for each child after the fourth will be reduced in accordance with the proviâ€" sions of the Family Allowances Act. As far as is possible, to take care of the adjustments necessary to avoid duplication of benefits, current income tax deductions at the source will be adjusted to take into account the new situation when Family Allowance payâ€" ments commence. This will avoid placing an awkward burden on the taxpayers at the end of the year. Special attention is drawn to the fact that the income ranges used in the table above refer to taxable income, and any amounts received as Family Allowances should not therefore be included in calculating income for this purpose because Family Allowances are #of taxable. Family Allowances are also additional to dependents‘ allowances for servicemen‘s families and military For children registered after July 1st, 1945, Family Allowances will be paid as from the month following the month when registration is made. Family Allowances are not paid retroactively. (@) Heads of families receiving incomes in 1945 of $1200 or less will benefit to the extent of the full amount of the Famâ€" ily Allowances received. As they are not required to pay income tax, there is no duplication to remove. (b) Heads of familites receiving incomes in 1945 in excess of $1200, but not in excess of $3,000, will in efect retain the full yvalue of their present income tax credits and in addition a percentage of the actual Family Allowances received. (c) Heads of families with incomes in excess of $3,000 will retain their full income tax credits for children if they do not receive Family Allowances. These 1axpayers may, however, apply for Family « Allowances to protect themselves against a possible decrease in income at a later date which might bring them into a lower income range where they would benefit from Family AHowances. In such cases if the income remains in excess of $3,000, the income tax credits for childâ€" ren would be reduced by the full amount of Family Allowan‘ces received. In all cases, those who apply for and are eligible to receive Family Allowances will receive them in full, month by month. See scale below: The Family ANHowances Act was designed to help equalize opportunities for all children, and when the Act was passed, Parliament approved the prinâ€" ciple that there should be no duplication of benefits by way of Family Allowances and Income Tax credits for the same child. An amendment to the Income War Tax Act will be made to deal with this duplication. In the meantime, however, the Governâ€" THE following announcement will help to clarify the relationship between Family Allowances and Income Tax credits for dependent children.
