Canadians Face New High Taxes
Canada's wartime budget raises income tax rates sharply affecting most wage earners. A new automobile levy starts at 10 percent on up to 700 dollars value and climbs to 80 percent above 3200, aimed at curbing high priced car purchases and conserving foreign exchange. Finance Minister J. J. Ralston projected 110 million in receipts for the year, with total revenue near 760 million while expenditures may reach 1.148 billion and a possible deficit around 300 million. Total expenditures for the prior year reached 562 million, a wartime record.
