Restraints May Not Hit Construction
Finance Minister Sharp warned last week that March budget measures may not restrain investment in construction this year. He told the Senate banking and commerce committee that physical expansion could decrease while dollar expansion rises, with five months left making predictions difficult. The main measures included a 5 percent tax on corporate profits over 30,000 and reduced capital cost allowances. Industry and government construction plans totalled 1 billion. The committee swiftly finished its study of Income Tax Act changes after Sharp spoke.
