Tax Act Amendments and Tax Raise Controversy
The Canadian government moves to amend the Income War Tax Act and set exemptions for capital elements in contractual annuities. Individual income tax is cut 16 percent for 1945 and 1946, and the Excess Profit Act is adjusted to exempt individuals and partnerships from the 15 percent tax on 1946 profits. Changes also limit excess profit tax to 60 percent over a base, repeal refund provisions, and extend a sales tax exemption on machinery used directly in production. Debate focuses on MPs and Senators with raised salaries not fully taxed, contrasting with private earners taxed after deductions.
