News from Behind the Wheel May 2002The Tax Man Cometh[This is not carved in stone. It seems likely, but its application may change. Editor]In the 1980’s some cabbies in Toronto asked for and got UI benefits. Even if this was not applied inKingston, this made drivers self-employed for GST purposes, but eligible for EI benefits.Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) administers the GST and Employment Insurance.Gordon Heath, CCRA Trust Accounts Examiner, wrote that since all drivers employed by [a taxiowner] were operating under a contract for service, they were self-employed and must have individualGST numbers, but remain eligible for EI.This regulation of drivers by the Excise Tax Act means that owners and drivers must register for GST,and owners must issue a T-4 Supplementary Slip, regardless of whether the drivers are self-employedor are employees.All self-employed drivers must keep a record of earnings, get a GST number, provide that number tothe owner, and file a GST return with the amount of tax owing.In order to file, the driver must retain the proportion of the GST corresponding to his share of the sheet(usually 45% of the GST) and pay the rest to the owner. The owner claims the driver portion as anInput Tax Credit on his own return. A driver who pays half of the costs claims half of the GST paid outas a credit on his GST return.Regulation 6(e) of the EI act defines the earnings of any driver as insurable for EI purposes if thedriver is not the owner of more than 50% of the vehicle or the owner or operator of the business.CCRA states that the owner currently must pay HIS portion of the EI premiums (3.15% of gross fares)and the employee portion (2.25% of the gross fares) for all self-employed drivers. The owner this pays5.4% of his gross as EI premiums.[The use of gross income as the basis of premiums is being challenged because the owner’s share ofthe gross is not EI insurable.]Can a partnership/lease exempt us?I don’t think so. In a 50/50 partnership, the plateholder might be defined as owner and pay EI for theother partner, even though neither one owns more than 50% of the business.The plateholder of a leased car may have to pay EI premiums whether he gets trip sheets or not. TaxCourts have established that the EI payable by an owner who doesn’t record employees’ earnings isbased on 2/3 of the maximum rate of earnings.Owners stand to lose 5.4% of their gross, or of drivers’ earnings, depending on the ruling. Drivers willhave to keep better records and get EI coverage.Will leasing be less attractive if owners have to pay EI? Just possibly.Life Explained - From Bonnie PicheOn the first day, God created the cow. God said, "You must go to the field with the farmer all day long andsuffer under the sun, have calves, and give milk too. I’ll give you a life span of sixty years."The cow said, "That's a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. Let me have twenty years and I'll giveback the other forty."So God agreed.On the second day, God created the dog. God said dog, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark atanyone who comes in or walks past. I’ll give you a life span of twenty years."The dog said, "That's too long to be barking. Give me ten years and I'll give back the other ten."So God agreed.On the third day, God created the monkey. God said, "Entertain people, do monkey tricks, make them laugh.I'll give you a twenty year life span."

News from Behind the Wheel May 2002The monkey said, "How boring. Monkey tricks for twenty years? I don't think so. Dog gave you back ten, sothat's what I'll do too, okay?"And God agreed again.On the fourth day, God created man.God said, "Eat, sleep, play, enjoy. Do nothing, just enjoy, enjoy. I'll give you twenty years."Man said, "What? Only twenty years? No way, man. Tell you what. I'll take my twenty, and the forty cowgave back, and the ten dog gave back, and the ten monkey gave back. That makes eighty, okay?""Okay," said God. "You've got a deal."So that is why, for the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play, enjoy, and do nothing.For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family.For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain our grandchildren; and for the last ten years we sit infront of the house and bark at everybody.Whazzup?
