V8V 1X4 June 85 Tax freedom late uquorstore VANCOUVER-It will take the average Canadian five days longer than last year fo pay his total tax bill to various levels of government, the FYaser Institute says. The conservative economic research group says national tax freedom day in 1985 will fall on Canada Day, July 1. Tax freedom day is the day after which Canadians would get to keep the money they earned if governments collected taxes by taking all of everyone's income from Jan. 1 until public revenue demands were filled. The FYaser Institute said in a news release that recent budget changes at the federal and provincial levels mean that, on average, Canadian families pay 49.8 of their income in various forms of taxes. This is up more than a full percentage point from 1984. While tax freedom day nationally is set at July 1, variations in provincial and local tax regimes give Prince Edward Island residents the earliest freedom from taxation, on May 11. Albertans are the most heavily taxed Canadians, says the FYaser Institute. Tax freedom day in Alberta will not come until Aug. 28. Institute director Michael Walker says that although Alberta's personal income tax rate is low and there is no provincial sales tax, the Alberta government collects large amounts of rents and royalties from petroleum resources which are owned by the province's people. "It's only people who pay taxes, no matter how you slice it," Walker said today. "We shouldn't let governments get away with looking like they have a lower tax burden because of the way that they levy taxes."
