Submitted y: Nancy .Taylor, B.B.A., C.A. Director of FinancelTreasurer -'~ ,,,, p Reviewed by:~. ` "~"~---~ ~~~- Franklin Wu Chief Administrative Officer NMTIMAM/hjl REPORT NO.: FND-003»09 PAGE 2 BACKGROUND Pursuant to Sections 354, 356, 357 and 358 of the Municipal Act, 2001, C25, a list of applications for cancellation, reduction, apportionments or refund of taxes is presented to Committee for its review and approval. Section 357(3 & 4) indicates that the Council shall hear and dispose of every application not later than the 30th day of April in the year following the year in respect of which the application is made. The last day for making application for the previous year's tax reduction is the 28th day of February in the following year. More specifically, under Section 354, the Treasurer shall recommend to Council that outstanding taxes be stricken from the roll. To strike taxes from the roll it must be by reason of a decision under Section 357 or 358, or of a decision of a judge of any court or that the taxes are uncollectible. An application for a cancellation, reduction or refund may be made for one of the following reasons: • Ceased to be liable to be taxed at rate it was; • real property becomes exempt; • razed by fire, demolition or otherwise; • damaged by fire, demolition or otherwise (substantially unusable) • removal of a mobile unit; • sickness or extreme poverty; • gross or manifest clerical error; and • repairs/renovations preventing normal use of period of 3 months. The 357 and the 358 process begins when an application is prepared by either the Regional Assessment Office or the Tax Department. The neighbourhood assessor will perform an on-site inspection of the property. The assessor will verify the reason for the application, the period of time, for which the tax relief is claimed, and the amount and type of assessment that is affected. The application is then sent back to the Tax Department where the actual tax adjustment is calculated and the taxpayer's account adjusted. Section 356, deals with severances or divisions into parcels. These parcels of land were taxed in blocks in the year(s) prior to severance/consolidation. Taxes are being apportioned to the individual properties which are now severed/consolidated. Therefore, tax amounts are removed from one roll number and applied to another roll number as determined by MPAC. REPORT NO.: FND-003.09 PAGE 3 The total amount of taxes to be written off, for September 1 to December 31, 2008, as shown in this report total $6,095.94.
