Ontario home owners and tenants can say goodbye to the basic shelter tax exemption in- troduced in 1967. Instead there will be a new tax credit scheme based on a home owner’s or tenant’s ability to pay. The new scheme, undertak- en in co-operation with the fed- eral government, was announc- ed February 24 by Provincial Treasurer Darcy McKeough. The basic shelter exemption amount varied from municipal- ity to municipality (it was $81 in Richmond Hill last year). Income Tax Item Replaces Rebate «LU. Allyn: A n n V . . w _ _ , , _ The new system will al- low the homeowner to de- duct from his federal in- come tax a portion of the property tax assessed by the municipality. The exact amount will be geared to a sliding scale that varies with taxable income, assesâ€" sment and number of de- pendents. The 1973 tax forms are expec- ted to include a special box or separate sheet to permit deduc- tion for the 19727tax_es. Homeowners who do not have an income high enough to bother filing a tax return, will have to do so in 1973 if they wish to collect this benefit. Increased levies on those in high income brackets will gen- erate the money needed for those at the bottom end of the scale. it is hoped. fiLalC. u. m llvryu Owners of cottages in Ontario will no longer be able to claim tax rebates for them under the leg- islation to be introduced by Mc- Keough. Since 1967 owners have collected the tax rebate both on their city or town homes and on their holiday cot- tages. The new credit system will apply only to a person’s principal residence. Recently Premier William Davis told the Ontario Good Roads Association that the prov- ince will cut back on subsidies to municipalities for road building this year. This decision does not mean that the province is “getting out of the road building business,” but rather is part of a general belt-tightening by the gov- ernment as it strives to hold the line on spending. he said. The impact of this decision on local municipalities will not be known until supplementary road estimates are prepared and sent to the Department of Transportation and Communica- tion for approval. The taking over of several local municipal roads by the Region of York this year will also have a great effect on the influence of the cutback, it is believed.
