FEDERAL


      Budget:  Tax Proposals
The federal government brought down
its 1977-78 budget on March 31, 1977.
The   following  tax changes   were
announced.

Personal Income  Tax
1. Tax Cut Changes
Beginning in 1977, the federal tax credit
is increased to 9% from 8% to provide
equivalent dollar amounts necessitated
by  the  new  federal-provincial fiscal


arrangements. (This change was already
in Bill C-37  to enact  the Federal-
Provincial Fiscal Arrangements  and
Established Programs Financing Act.)
  Applicable to the 1977  and subse-
quent taxation years, the credit is en-
riched by providing for an additional
$50 per dependent child under eighteen
resident in Canada, maximum   credit
after enrichment remaining the same at
$500. The  maximum  $500 tax credit is
reached at about $23,650  of taxable
income.
