Utilities Commission. This series addresses wets subjects. raised i in the review and answers questians .we jiave received, at KCP information centres and through our 7-800 toll-free line, °° aa Q. Recent information on KCP’s tax benefits was very confusing. Does the project add to B.C.’s tax | revenues or doesn’t it? KCP represents an addition of about $906 million to household incomes in the province, directly or indirectly. That income is taxable, just like any other income. > Part of the total -- estimated at 28 per cent, or $254 million -- would be payable by individuals at tax time. As about one-third of personal income tax from B.C. residents is returned to the Province from Ottawa, the B.C. government could expect to receive something like $85 million in tax Fevenues from this source alone during KCP’s full construction period. Though KCP-related corporate taxes also accrue to B.C. from Alcan and its suppliers, the revenue from this source is more difficult to forecast. Alcan? g corporate income, for example, is based on the company’s earnings throughout Canada. For contractors and suppliers, KCP may be only part of their business and their overall level of profitability would depend on many. factors beyond the project. _ One indication of revenues from sources other than personal income taxes is available from research conducted by the B.C, Ministry of Finance and Corporate Relations. Those revenues include corporate income taxes, municipal taxes, royalties and sales taxes, The Ministry established that such revenues totalled about 4.3 per cent of the household income created by another major constr uction’ project in 1990, i By applying the same percentage to KCP, we might anticipate further tax: revenues of about $39 million. That’s in addition to the $85-million figure that we filed in our evidence to the British Columbia Utilities Commission i in® Prince George, The Kitimat Information Centre The Kitimat Information Centre is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Drop by the office and we will be happy to discuss any questions you. may: have about Kemano Completion.
