Grant-in-lieu of Taxes Revision
Status
Endorsed by the NCLGA Membership
Whereas senior governments are exempt from property taxation under s. 125 of the Constitution Act;
And whereas provincial grant-in-lieu amounts are determined under the Municipal Aid Act and federal payment-in-lieu amounts are determined under the Payment In Lieu of Taxes Act;
And whereas grant-in-lieu revenues from exempted provincial and federal government properties are significantly lower than those revenues that would be collected through property taxation:
Therefore be it resolved that the North Central Local Government Association support lobbying the provincial and federal governments to review, support and implement changes to the determination of grant-in-lieu and payment-in lieu of property tax amounts under the Municipal Aid Act and Payment In Lieu of Taxes Act.
