Roger Worth Slowly but surely, govern- ments in Canada are effectively kiiling the Canadiati smal business geese that lay those valuable golden eggs called jobs. Naturally, there's no officiai "Iet's get the entrepreneur" policy, but the effect of same government moves is devastating for business, and particularly for hard-pressed smaller irms that are having trouble break. ing even, let atone earning big profits. The issue, of course, is the ubiquitous payroll tax which employers (and sometimes employees) are forced to col- lect and pay, no matter whether the business is prof- itable or flot. By driving up such taxes, governments are making it more difficult for new businesses to stant; firms have less cash to expand and create jobs, and in sorne cases the leIes resuit in bankruptcy. Here's a glimpse at the kind of payroll taxes employers have to contend with: IUnemp!oyment Insurance - At year's end, Ottawa in- creased employee contribu- tions a whopping 39 percent, raising the maximum amount payable by each worker to $8.85 per week. But the com- panies that hire these workers pay even more. Their maximum rates soared to $12.40 per employee per week from $8.09, a staggering 53 percent increase. That means a small business with, say, lOemployees earning $385 Per week is now paying an ex- tra $43. 10 per week, or $2.241 per year. 0 Workers' Compensation - Most Canadians don't fully understand that employers pay a heavy price for this govern- ment sponsored, on-the-job CF/B Fe',, S'..

A manu- facturer of corrugated paper boxes in Ontario, for example, pays $2.07 for every $100 an employee earns. A irm hiring workers to cut lumber, on the other hand, pays $10.04 per $100 of earnings, while a car- tage firm employing people to load and unload vehicles is biled a whopping $18.40 for every $100 it pays in wage. Needless to say, these rates are also rising. e Canada Pension Plan - Employers match their workers' contribution to a maximum of $268 per employee per year. The costs keep rising. e Education payroil taxes - This is a newcomer to the payroll tax scene. Manitoba recently followed Quebec's lead, incorporating a 1.5 per- cent tax on a payroils ini the province. The effect?. A business employing 10 people earning, say, $385 per week, is forced to pay an extra $57.50 per week or a nice, round $3,000 per year. Administering ail these tax schemes, of course, is time consuming and costly, to say nothing of having to deal with the government inspectors that oversee the various plans. As a result of the cantinuing concerni about the rapid expan- sion and effect of payroll taxes, the Canadian Federation of In- dependent Business is funding a $20.000 project to accurately assess the damage that is being done ta small business. "Simply put, these taxes are unfair, and they are costing Canada a great many jobs," CFIB President John Bulloch recently told members of a Winnipeg service club. "Rest assured, the pernicious payrol tax will be one -of aurmajor_ political targets during the next two years." results Phllfip Chubb and Mrs. Anne Stewart, 80o%; Mr. and Mrs. Jlm WMarrie, 71%4; Mrs. Harold Bon- netta and Mrs. Paul Coath, 68%k; Mrs. Zeta Cunnington and Mrs. Margaret Jones, 66.
