,Canadian Tax Principles, 2022-2023 (Byrd/Chen)
Chapter 1 Introduction to Federal Taxation in Canada

1.1 Online Exercises

1) The major source of federal revenues is the personal income tax. Indicate three other types of taxes that
contribute to federal revenues.
Answer: The other sources of federal revenues that are shown in Figure 1-1 of the text are:

• Corporate income taxes.
• Non-resident income taxes.
• GST.
• Customs and import duties.
• Other excise taxes.
• EI premiums.
Type: ES
Topic: Federal revenue sources

2) What is the meaning of "person" when the term is used in the ITA?
Answer: In the ITA, the term "person" refers to an individual, a corporation, a trust or an estate.
Type: ES
Topic: Definition - "Person" ITA 248(1)

3) Briefly describe the procedures used in calculating provincial or territorial income tax for individuals
in other than individuals residing in Quebec.
Answer: Provincial or territorial income taxes for individuals are calculated by applying a provincial or
territorial income tax rates to taxable income for federal income tax purposes. Provincial or territorial
personal income tax credits are then applied to the resulting gross income tax. The provincial and
territorial income tax brackets may differ from the federal income tax brackets. In addition, provincial
and territorial personal tax credits may be different than the federal personal tax credits.
Type: ES
Topic: Income tax payable - federal income tax

4) The Canadian income tax system is often used to achieve various economic objectives. Give three
examples that illustrate this point.
Answer: There are many examples that could be cited. The text divides them into resource allocation
(e.g., public health care), distribution effects (e.g., federal GST credit), stabilization effects (e.g., deficit
reduction), and fiscal federalism (e.g., allocations to various levels of government).
Type: ES
Topic: Canadian income tax system - objectives

5) Provide an example of how taxation policy can be used to influence resource allocation.
Answer: Examples provided in the text are as follows:
• Tax revenues are used to provide public goods and services.
• Excise taxes are used to discourage the consumption of alcohol and tobacco products. There are, of
course, many other examples that could be cited.
Type: ES
Topic: Canadian income tax system - objectives

,6) The government pays a Canada Child Benefit to the parents of children who are under 18 years of age.
The payments are reduced by a percentage of income above a certain amount. What objectives are
achieved by this benefit system?
Answer: The Canada Child Benefit system is designed to assist low income families with children. The
government is encouraging population growth. In addition the benefits are targeted to those most in need
being low income families.
Type: ES
Topic: Canadian income tax system - objectives

7) Indicate three disadvantages of a tax system that uses progressive rates.
Answer: There are a number of possibilities here. They include that progressive rates:
• Increase the complexity of the system.
• Are unfair to individuals with highly variable income streams.
• Are unfair to single income family units.
• Lead to pressure for various types of tax concessions.
• Discourage high income individuals from making additional efforts.
• Encourage tax evasion.
Type: ES
Topic: Canadian income tax system - objectives

8) A regressive tax is one that taxes high income individuals at lower effective rates. Explain why a sales
tax levied at a flat rate of 8% can be regressive.
Answer: While the sales tax rate is the same for all individuals without regard to their income level,
lower income individuals normally spend a higher percentage of their total income. Since the sales tax is
charged on the amounts spent, this means that the sales tax paid by lower income individuals represents
a larger percentage of their total income. As a consequence, they are generally considered to be
regressive in nature.
Type: ES
Topic: Canadian income tax system - regressive vs progressive rates

9) Distinguish between horizontal equity and vertical equity as these terms are used in describing tax
systems.
Answer: Horizontal equity is achieved when taxpayers in similar economic circumstances are subject to
similar levels of tax. Vertical equity is achieved when taxpayers in different economic circumstances are
subject to taxes in a different manner.
Type: ES
Topic: Canadian income tax system - objectives

, 10) What are some of the factors that have led to the entrenched use of tax expenditures as opposed to
program spending?
Answer: The reasons that are listed in the text are as follows:

• It is less costly to administer tax expenditures than it is to administer government funding programs.

• More decisions are left to the private sector so that funds may be allocated more efficiently.

• Tax expenditures reduce the visibility of certain government actions. This is particularly beneficial if
some social stigma is attached to the programs. For example, a child tax benefit system is more acceptable
than increasing social assistance (welfare) payments.

• Tax expenditures reduce the progressivity of the tax system. As many of the tax expenditures, such as
tax shelters, are more available to higher income taxpayers, they serve to reduce effective tax rates in the
higher rate brackets.
Type: ES
Topic: Canadian income tax system - objectives

11) While the Sections of the ITA are numbered 1 through 281, there are actually more than 281 Sections.
Explain why this is the case.
Answer: This situation reflects the fact that when a new Section is added, it has been more convenient to
attach a decimal designation to the new Section, as opposed to renumbering all of the Sections that follow
the new Section. As an example, over several years, the Department of Finance has added six new
Sections after Section 12. They have been numbered Section 12.1 through Section 12.6. If they had used
whole numbers for these new Sections, it would have been necessary to renumber all of the remaining
Sections in the Act each time a new Section was added.
Type: ES
Topic: The ITA & income tax reference materials

12) What purposes are served by Canada's international tax treaties?
Answer: The purposes of these treaties are as follows:
• They impose measures on countries to avoid double taxation where a person is liable for income tax on
the same income in both countries
• They tare used to create an exchange of information for the purposes of combatting tax evasion.
Type: ES
Topic: International - income tax treaties
