76.12 Tax Exemption on Incomes below Minimum Poverty Levels
(Reiteration of 1970 Resolution) (Guaranteed Annual Income)
Whereas, The basic exemptions under the Income Tax Act have not been increased to take into account the increased cost of living which has resulted from inflation; and,
Whereas, The income of persons below the poverty level as defined by Statistics Canada are in many cases subject to taxation; therefore,
RESOLVED, That the National Council of Women of Canada request the Government of Canada to amend the Income Tax Act so that the incomes of persons below the minimum poverty levels as defined by Statistics Canada, shall be exempt from taxation.
