Saskatchewan Budget Cuts Taxes For Most Residents
Finance Minister Walter Smishek unveiled a modest tax relief plan in Saskatchewan's budget, offering tenant rebates and mortgage tax credits, a $10 per child dependent tax deduction, and a senior school tax rebate. Cigarettes rise three cents per pack, cigars up one cent, and tobacco up per half ounce. The deficit is projected at 49 million for 1979-80, with a current-year shortfall of 71 million. The heritage fund is set to yield a 117 million surplus in 1980, funded by drawing 328 million into general revenue. More than 100 000 taxpayers will benefit from the mortgage deduction, while rent and senior citizen measures target about 5 000 residents.
