REVENUES, 1941-42


3. When the books for the fiscal year 1941-42 are finally closed, total revenues will reach, it is estimated, an all-time record of $1,481,285,000. This represents an increase over the preceding fiscal year of no less than $609,- 116,000 or approximately 70 per cent. The chief reasons for this very substantial increase were the new taxes and the increases in old tax rates imposed by the last budget and the higher level of national income and production due to heavy expenditures for war purposes. In addition, there were less important increases in the yield from income taxes due to changes in the time and method of collection. As a result of the last budget, the due date for personal income taxes was moved back from April 30 to March 31 and the prepayment instalment plan became effective in September 1941, thus providing for seven monthly payments during the fiscal year for those who adopted the plan as compared with only three monthly instalments in the preceding fiscal year under the instalment plan which began in January 1941. 4. The five-year table of revenues shown on page 4 is in the same form as was used last year. This table is divided to show tax revenues under appropriate headings with subheadings for Excise Duties, Excise Taxes and Income Taxes. The non-tax revenue section is broken down under five main headings. 5. Total revenues from taxation for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1942, are estimated at $1,360,915,000 compared with $778,213,000 collected during the previous year. This total represents 92 per cent of the total estimated revenues. An examination of the five-year table discloses that direct taxes on incomes realized $645,412,000 compared with $272,138,000 during the previous year. While, in 194041, direct taxes represented 35-0 per cent of the total revenue from taxes, they represented 47-4 per cent of total tax revenues in 1941-42. This comparison illustrates the increasing reliance upon the direct taxation of incomes. Because of the change in the due date of personal income taxes from April 30 to March 31, and the longer period in which the prepayment instalment plan was in operation during 1941-42, an accurate comparison of receipts from personal income taxes during 1941-42 with the amounts received in previous years cannot be made. 6. As a result of the Budget of April 29, 1941, the Dominion levied succession duties for the first time. The yield of this new tax amounted to $6,957,000. This compared with a rough estimate of $10,000,000 given in last year's Budget. 7. The total revenue from sales tax, less refunds, is estimated at $236,184,000, an increase of $56,483,000 as compared with the previous year. Part of this increase was the result of removing building materials from the exempt list (effected by the Budget of April 1941) but for the most part it reflects the higher level of activity brought about by increasing expenditures for war purposes. The Budget-Appendix



8. The war exchange tax is expected to realize a total revenue of $100,874,000 compared with 861,932,000 received during the previous year. 9. Other excise taxes as set out in the five-year table are estimated to produce $116,368,000, an increase over the previous year of $73,834,000. Excise taxes derived from new imposts realized $44,937,000 as follows: gasoline $24,752,000; amusements $7,710,000; parimutuel bets $1,082,000; soft drinks $6,247,000; and travel $5,146,000. The remainder of the increase, namely $28,897,000, is accounted for by business expansion and by increased excise taxes on automobiles, cigarette papers and tubes, lighters, playing cards, sugar, toilet preparations, wines and long distance telephone calls, etc. 10. Revenues from customs import duties for the year just closed are estimated at $142,- 392,000 compared with $130,757,000 received during 1940-41. This increase is due largely to increased imports arising out of the war. _ 11- Receipts from excise duties mainly on liquor and tobacco, are expected to total $110,091,000, an increase of $21,483,000 over the previous fiscal year. The gross duty on spirits, malt, etc., is estimated at $46,777,000 and that on tobacco at $65,050,000. 12. Total non-tax revenues are estimated at $102,569,000 compared with $81,542,000 in the previous year. The largest non-tax item is the receipts from the Post Oifice which it is expected will total $45,994,000, an increase of approximately $5,611,000 over the preceding fiscal year. The receipts from the. Post Oifice will, it is expected, exceed the cost of operations by $4,500,000. As mentioned in previous Budget Speeches, the Post Office accounts do not include the rental value and other costs of premises occupied and equipment used, nor do they include any credit to the Post Oifice for services rendered to other departments for the free use of the mails. Other increases in the non-tax section were recorded under the headings of Premium, Discount and Exchange, and Return on Investments. The increase in Premium, Discount and Exchange was due to repatriation of sterling securities and the increase in Return on Investments was accounted for mainly by interest on increased loans to the Foreign Exchange Control Board and the Canadian National Railways. 13. The total amount shown for the fiscal year 1941-42 under the heading, Special Receipts and Credits, is $17,801,000. Of this, total cash receipts account for $11,089,000 as follows: refunds of previous years' war expenditures $7,826,000; voluntary donations for war purposes $459,000; insurance moneys received on loss of Prince Edward Island Car Ferry $984,000; and sundry receipts $1,820,000. The remainder amounting to $6,712,000 represents bookkeeping items which affected the book value of the Canadian National Railways Securities Trust Capital Stock and certain other non-active assets. All of these items making up the total of $6,712,000 are offset by contra amounts appearing on the expenditure side under the heading, Other Charges. The first of these items is that affecting the book valuation of the Canadian National Railways Securities Trust Capital Stock which was increased by $4,115,000, due to (a) surplus earnings of The Canadian National Railway System for the calendar year 1941, amounting to $4,016,000, and (b) the capital gain arising from redemption of Grand Trunk Railway 14 per cent Debenture Stock at less than par in Canadian funds amounting to $99,000. In addition, there were two other transactions affecting the non-active accounts: Canadian National Railways Securities Trust Capital Stock was reduced by reason of line abandonments during the year 1941 in the amount of $2,539,000, and the sum of $58,000 representing the yearly established losses in the seed grain and relief accounts of the Department of Mines and Resources was written off. 13a. The table below gives a summary of the forecasts made at the time of the last Budget of the probable receipts from various sources of revenue during the fiscal year 194142 and a comparison of these forecasts with the present estimates of actual receipts during the fiscal year. It will be noted that there is shown in the first column the forecast of expected receipts from the tax structure as it existed before the Budget of April 29, 1941, was brought down in the House, while the second column gives the expected receipts from the tax structure as affected by the proposals made in the Budget, and the third column the expected receipts from the tax structure as amended by the legislation finally passed by Parliament. Under the conditions which have prevailed since the outbreak of war, with production and employment expanding rapidly and with prices rising (until last December), it has been very difficult to make accurate forecasts of the yield from various types of taxation. Budgetary authorities must always be cautious in predicting the probable magnitude and results of expanding economic activity and rising national income. It is always wise to err on the side of conservatism rather than undue optimism. It will be noted from the table that while there were under-estimates or overestimates of some proportions in the case of individual revenue sources, these cancelled each other out to a considerable extent. The total yield from taxation was under-estimated by only $4,815,000. The Budget-Appendix Some comments may be made in regard to the probable explanation for the major differences as between the forecasts and the estimated actual results. The increase in customs duties as compared with the forecast was due to a higher level of prices and a greater volume of imports than had been anticipated. The increase in excise duties was due to a higher volume of sales than had been expected while the substantial increases in the various excise taxes were due not only to a greater volume of business but also to higher prices than had been anticipated. The close estimate of the yield of the national defence tax indicates substantial accuracy in forecasting the level of personal incomes and the underestimate of the yield of the graduated tax on personal incomes is chiefly due to the facts (a) that a smaller proportion of taxpayers than was expected took advantage of the prepayment instalment plan, and (b) that many returns mailed on March 31st were not received in sufficient time to be included in receipts for the fiscal year 1941-42. The difficulty of making accurate allowance in advance for the effects of the pre-payment instalment plan was probably also the main explanation of the under-estimate of the yield from the corporate income tax and the overestimate of the yield from the excess profits tax although other factors may also have been operative in the case of the latter including probably the fact that depressed businesses were allowed to calculate and pay their tax on the minimum basis pending final determination of standard profits by the Board of Referees. In comparing the forecast with the actual yield from succession duties, it should be remembered that this was an entirely new tax and there was no experience to go upon in preparing the forecast. Perhaps, also, insufficient account was taken of the time necessarily involved in securing full payment of succession duties. In any case, fluctuations in the yield of succession duties are almost impossible to predict in advance. Reference was made in an earlier paragraph to the increase in non-tax revenues. This resulted from a substantial increase in Post Office receipts, a large increase in Premium, Discount and Exchange arising out of the heavy repatriation operations and the increase in return on investments due to advances to the Foreign Exchange Control Board and the Canadian National Railways. It is impossible to predict the amount of special receipts and credits that may accrue in any fiscal year and it has not been the practice to attempt any estimate of this category of revenues.

EXPENDITURES, 1941-42


14. The comments which follow will deal with expenditures classified by the usual main categories: (1) Ordinary Expenditures; (2) Capital Expenditures; (3) War Expenditures; (4) Specal Expenditures; (5) Operating Deficits of, and Non-active Advances to Government-owned Enterprises; and (6) Other Charges. All disbursements under these headings with the exception of active loans and investments chargeable to War Appropriation Acts, are included as expenditures in arriving at the over-all deficit or increase in net debt.


ORDINARY EXPENDITURES


15. It is estimated that ordinary expenditures for the year will total 8443,969,000, of which such uncontrollable and contractual items as interest and other charges on the public debt, pensions, unemployment insurance, post office, subsidies and payments to provinces under the Dominion-Provincial taxation agreements will aggregate 8330,342,000, approximately 74 per cent of the total. The remaining 26 per cent represents general administrative expenses and other services of government charged to Ordinary Expenditures. The above estimated total of 8443,969,000 is greater than the actual amount of ordinary expenditures during the previous fiscal year by $53,340,000. It may be noted, however, that this increase is due in considerable part to increased expenditures which are really due to the war itself, including the following as the more important items: Increased Interest on Public Debt.. .$15,091,000 Increased Cost of Doan Flotations and Annual Amortization of Bond Discount and Commissions 10,126,000 Compensation to Provinces under the Dominion-Provincial Taxation Agreements 21,120,000 Increase m Administrative Cost, Department of National Revenue.. 1,201,000
