                                       REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

                                       (Delivered from the Bench at Edmonton, Alberta,

                                                                 on April 15th, 2002).

STRAYER, J.A.:

[1]                 This appeal involves the application of subsection 6(1) and(2) of the Income Tax Act to the assessment of the Applicant's income for 1995 and 1996. The assessments in question relate to additions to his income respecting standby charges for the use of an automobile owned by his employer and operating expenses of that automobile paid by that employer.


[2]                 The Applicant regards these calculations as unfair and unreasonable. We are of the view, however, that the Tax Court Judge was correct in upholding the assessments as conforming to the very specific directions of the Act.

[3]                 The application for judicial review will therefore be dismissed without costs.

     "B. L. Strayer"
