cluded the awarding of certificates of. merit ‘by: district. Social Services and Housing
manager Bill Anderson. The ministry is driving for another 30 homes Inthe area, but ques:

tions have come up about the income tax position ofs some kinds’ ‘of fostering.

Taxation question hangs Le
over foster home operators

Federal income tax amend-
ments introduced last year are
confusing to foster parents, says
B.C. Sacial Services and Hous-
ing Minister Claude Richmond,
and he has contacted National
Health and Welfare Minister
Perrin Beatty for clarification.

Amendments were made to
the Income Tax Act in Septem-

1988, requiring _ persons
who operate residential re-
‘sources for children to pay in-
come tax on their net earnings —
retroactive to 1982. Prior to this,
net income was not taxable. .
_“This amendment is creating
a lot of corifusion and concern
among foster parents and con-
tracted resource operators,”’

‘says Richmond. ‘Although fed-
‘eral officials have indicated that
typical ministry foster parents

are not the target of the legisla-
tion, we still have not received
clarification. We do not know
which resources will be affected,
and if affected, whether taxes
will have to be paid retroactive
to 1982.”

According to Richmond, the
issue has. been unresolved for |
some time and clarification by

Revenue Canada would put fos-
minds at ease.
“These people face an uncertain

tax situation,’’ says Richmond,
who is currently trying to.recruit -
‘more foster parents in the prov-

ince. ‘‘As soon.as we know who

‘is affected and what the ramifi-

cations are, we can ‘get back to
recruiting and, training foster

parents who provide an invalu- -

able service in this province.”’

‘The ministry’s regional man--
‘ager in: Terrace,. Bill Anderson,
; explains that they received a
‘directive from Victoria in 1980 —

which stated that Revenue Can-
ada had made a ruling that a

‘certain: portion of the money

paid to foster parents and con-
tract homes is not taxable. But
since that time, he says, the
situation has become . a. bit

_““muddied’’: He says, “It de-

pends. on who you talk’to at
Revenue Canada. Each has a
different interpretation of the
legislation.”
Anderson adds tha
nary” foster parents are in the
clear but those receiving special

rates or operating contract or

group homes may be affected. Is

the extra money they receive.

income? ‘“We argue not,”’ says
Anderson. ‘They are paid to do
a service under the Canada As-
sistance Program and a fee for
service is non-taxable.””

In an effort to alleviate con-

cern among caregivers, Rich-

mond says, the ministry is work-
irig with the B.C, Federation of
Foster Parents and has provided
funding to purchase a compre-

hensive professional tax opinion

which will assist indivdiual care-

givers in determinirig whther.

tion. :
