Katz leaves door open a crack to possibility of property-tax increase

Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz said he still hopes to deliver another a property-tax freeze this year but continued to leave the door open a crack for the first hike since the late ’90s.

Speaking to reporters after an executive policy committee meeting, Katz repeated his 2010 election campaign pledge to make a property-tax increase a last resort when he and his colleagues develop the 2011 operating budget.

But the mayor also continued to describe a tax freeze as a goal, as opposed to a certainty.

The City of Winnipeg balanced its last two operating budgets without increasing property taxes through methods that included one-time transfers from other accounts, the elimination of middle-management positions and also by expecting to settle disputes with the province over ambulance funding and Manitoba Hydro taxes.

Pulling off the same trick this year will be difficult considering the rising cost of police, firefighter and other salaries. Every one of the city’s unions is either renegotiating its collective bargaining agreement or about to do so later this year.

The city’s operating budget will be tabled in February. The city’s capital budget, which covers infrastructure improvements and equipment purchases, will likely be tabled at the end of next week, Katz said.

New Tax Rules Tax Rulings

That way the IRS can deduct more taxes from my paycheck throughout the year so i can get more money back at the end of the year. it’s kinda like a savings account you could say. Makes good sense to me. But with every new year comes a new set of tax laws. this year the “AMT” or alternative minimum tax was passed and this is going to affect many middle income families. Under the regular IRS rules, you start with your gross income and subtract deductions like state taxes you paid, and exemptions like child credits. Eventually, you arrive at your taxable income. Under AMT rules, you still start with your gross income, but many of the usual deductions and exemptions are disallowed. Suddenly, your taxable income is alot higher. Some key breaks are lost so here’s a list of them. state and local income taxes and property taxes, unreimbursed business expenses, child-tax credits, tax-preparation fees, legal fees, home-equity loan interest just to name a few. The original idea behind this tax was to prevent people with very high incomes from using special tax benefits to pay little or no tax. But for various reasons the AMT reaches more people each year, including some people who don’t have very high income. I have a professional tax consultant do my taxes every year because it has just become so complicated i can’t afford to make mistakes so i recommend this same advice to most people out there unless you can stay on top of the ever changing tax laws

Here on Maui we have some of the lowest property tax rates for all the Hawaiian Islands, especially for homeowner/occupants.  People moving to Maui are often pleasantly surprised at the property tax for their new home.  If an owner lives in their home, they can qualify for the homeowner exemption, but be sure to file for it once you become a new owner, before December 31.  As your agent, I will remind you of this important deadline.
