That Report TR-65-93 be lifted from the Table, 2 . That addendum to Report TR-65-93 be received, 3. That Report TR-65-93 be received, and 4 . That Report TR-65-93 (copy attached) be approved and amended to include the following clarifications under the heading of Eligible Expenses; c) Delete item c) in its entirety. d) Where reimbursement is paid for travel from home to the Municipal Administrative Centre, the value of such reimbursement will be included in the member's income and reported on the annual T-4 . As such the value added to income will be eligible for 1/3 eligibility as a tax free allowance. Background• 1.0 TR-65-93 1. 1 TR-65-93 was tabled at the General Purpose and Administration Committee Meeting of July 19, 1993 until September 20th. Subsequently, at the ratification Council meeting of September 28th, it was further tabled for one month. 1.2 The purpose of the final tabling motion was to allow Staff the opportunity to investigate further the issue eligible expenditures. 2 ADDENDUM - TR-65-93 Paae 2 2.0 Eligible Expenses 2 . 1 Specifically the concern raised dealt with the eligibility of reimbursement from "home to office" for any elected officials . 2 .2 Staff have been in contact with a number of employees from the Toronto and Ottawa branches of Revenue Canada in order to determine the appropriate interpretation of the related sections of the Income Tax Act. 2 . 3 The Income Tax Act Interpretation Bulletin # IT-292 (copy attached as Schedule A) refers to Taxation of Elected Officials . It identifies amounts to be excluded from income calculations . It does also contain some irregularities such as it's reference to "municipal business" which is not defined anywhere for reference or clarification. 2 .4 Staff requested elaboration on the following terms which were referred to in the bulletin in order to adequately address the concerns raised; a) Municipal business b) Place of business/or office c) Personal travel reimbursement vs. reimbursement eligible for exclusion from income d) Exceptions from personal vs. travel e) Calculation of the 1/3 tax free expense/allowance 2 .5 The following information was verbally relayed on the above terms : a) Municipal business - This is not defined by any interpretation bulletin and it is therefore up to Council to authorize by-laws what would reasonably be considered to be municipal business. b) Place of business - This is defined as the normal place of work ie. the Municipal Administrative Centre. The definition was an important one because with elected municipal officials any public place within the municipality might be construed as a "place of business " . This is further confirmed by an j excerpt from interpretation bulletin #IT-63R3 which deals with personal use of a motor vehicle. A copy of the pertinent excerpt - paragraph 5. is attached as Schedule `B' . c) Personal travel vs . reimbursement eligible for exclusion from income - bulletin IT#292 refers in paragraph #4 to reimbursement for travelling on municipal business as being non-taxable. This was further explained as reimbursement for conferences etc . and for travel reimbursement from other than "home to regular office" . Any reimbursement for travel from home to the regular place of business is taxable and the . . .3 ADDENDUM - TR-65-93 Page 3 value should be included on elected officials ' T-4 as income. d) Exceptions from personal use travel which as described in section b) above is considered to be travel from home to any other authorized place other than the Municipal Administrative Centre. e) Calculation of the 1/3 tax free allowance - for example if a Council member received $15,000 total salary plus an additional $900 for travel from home to the Municipal Administrative Centre, the total value reported on the annual T4 would be $15,900; 1/3 of this value or $5,300 would be considered tax free and the remaining $600 of the travel reimbursement would then be subject to income tax. This calculation can be done for the 1993 taxation year. 3.0 Area Municipalities 3. 1 For the information of Council the area municipalities have been surveyed to determine whether they are in compliance with the applicable Income Tax requirements, the results of which are as follows : Question: Is the mileage from home to office for any reason reimbursed to Mayor and Members of Council? Region yes Ajax no Pickering no Oshawa no Whitby no Uxbridge no - yearly flat rate Scugog no Clarington yes Brock no - yearly flat rate 4.0 Conclusion 4 . 1 It would appear from the documentation provided from Revenue Canada that a portion of the mileage that is currently claimed as a complete tax free reimbursement may be eligible for inclusion in personal income and subject to taxation to the extent of two-thirds of the value. This addition to income represents any kilometre reimbursement from home to the Municipal Administrative Centre for any reason. 4 .2 It is recommended that the adjustments be reflected for the 1993 taxation year.
