Dear XXXXXXXXXX:
I am replying to your letter of January 27, 2000, on behalf of your constituents, concerning the requirement to include in income the amounts received from the government of British Columbia under its Child in the Home of Relative Program.
The requirement to include the particular amounts in total income is not based on a change in policy but rather on specific rules in the Income Tax Act. However, these rules also provide an offsetting deduction for these payments in calculating taxable income. Thus, while the payments included in income may affect certain tax credits that are based on income, these amounts are effectively received tax-free in calculating taxable income.
I trust my comments will assist you in responding to your constituents.
Yours sincerely,
Martin Cauchon
