The Manitoba Education Financing Coalition wants the province to shoulder more of the cost for education — following up on an NDP promise in 2008. Currently the province pays 65.4% of education costs, the Coalition says, while the stated goal is 80%.

Municipal property taxes make up the rest, and in the city of Winnipeg that means 50% of a homeowner’s property tax bill is funding schools, the group says. The rate differs across the province.

Both the NDP and Tories have pledged changes to education funding.

Sunday, Premier Greg Selinger said that seniors would no longer have to pay the school tax if the NDP are re-elected. He also promised to eliminate the education tax on Manitoba farmland. The NDP have been taking steps toward that in tax credits over the past several years. Selinger estimated the tax cuts would cost $35 million and $14 million, respectively.

On Aug. 31, PC Party Leader Hugh McFadyen pledged to allow cottage owners to claim the $700 education property tax credit, in effect exempting cottage owners from up to 80% of the tax.

In a release, coalition chair Lorne Weiss downplayed both promises.

“The smart party is the one that stops nibbling at the corners of this issue and instead makes a serious effort to fund education properly through general revenues not property taxes.”

“In short, if the current system isn’t fair for seniors, farmers and cottage owners, it isn’t fair for any Manitoban.”

The group is advocating the province immediately begin funding 80% of education costs and move to 100% as soon as possible.

Members of the Manitoba Association of Cottage Owners will camp out at the legislature this evening to protest the double taxation.

The annual rally begins at 7 p.m.

MACO also notes that cottage owners can’t vote in school board elections for their second property, despite paying the local education taxes.

The group has been protesting the school tax system since MACO was founded in the early ’90s.

MACO is also part of the Manitoba Education Financing Coalition behind letspayfair.com — arguing that school taxes should be removed from property taxes completely.

Back on Aug. 31, the provincial Tories promised to allow cottage owners to claim the $700 education property tax credit if elected Oct. 4. So far no other parties have weighed in on the issue this election.

We have stayed on track with our five-year economic plan to ensure families have access to vital front-line services and also deliver significant tax savings for families. This year, tax cuts will save a family of four $212 and by 2014 that same family of four will save $374 a year.

The bill will deliver on nearly $110 million in new tax reductions once they are fully implemented and would freeze or reduce major taxes for the 12th consecutive year. Tax reductions proposed for families and property owners include:

• Increasing the basic Education Property Tax Credit by $50 to $700, which would save renters and homeowners an extra $16 million this year.

• Increasing basic personal income tax exemptions by $1,000 over four years, starting with $250 this year. By 2014, an additional 22,000 Manitobans would no long pay Manitoba income tax.

• Implementing a new Children’s Arts and Cultural Activity Tax Credit, to help parents introduce their children to activities such as art, music, drama, language instruction, environmental activities and personal tutoring.

• Increasing the maximum seniors’ Education Property Tax Credit by $150 to $950 in 2011. This credit would rise by $75 to $1,025 in 2012 and by another $75 to $1,100 in 2013.

• Increasing the Primary Caregiver Tax Credit by 25 per cent to a maximum of $1,275 to assist families caring for elderly Manitobans and other loved ones.

• Increasing the Farmland School Tax Rebate to 80 per cent from 75 per cent, which would save farmers an additional $2 million this year for a total of over $35 million annually.

This legislation would guarantee that provincial revenue sharing with municipalities will be no less than one-seventh of provincial sales tax revenue.

The minister noted the provincial small business income tax and the general corporation capital tax were completely eliminated this year. Other tax reductions for business would include:

• Increasing the Green Energy Equipment Tax Credit to 15 per cent from 10 for installations of geothermal heating systems.

• Creating a new Cultural Industries Printing Tax Credit to provide a 15 per cent refundable credit to support Manitoba-based printers.

• Providing a Capital Tax Exemption for small banks to attract and encourage the expansion of small, innovative financial institutions in Manitoba.

• Introducing a new employee share purchase plan tax credit to help business succession planning.

Manitoba homeowners will soon get more relief on their tax bills.

Premier Greg Selinger announced on Thursday that the education property tax credit will increase from $650 to $700.

Homeowners will have the credit subtracted from their property tax bills starting this summer while renters will receive the increased benefit when they file their 2011 income tax returns.

The EPTC has been increased by 180 per cent to $700 from $250 in 1999, Selinger said.

According to Statistics Canada, Manitoba is the only province in the country to see property taxes remain relatively stable since 2000.

There has been a 1.2 per cent increase overall in that time in Manitoba, while the average Canadian increase has been 33.7 per cent.

Manitobans will be saving an additional $16 million in taxes, thanks to a recent increase in the Education Property Tax Credit.

The bump, which sees the credit increasing from $650 to $700, was announced Thursday by Premier Greg Selinger. Homeowners will have the credit subtracted from their property tax bills starting this summer, while residential tenants will receive the increased benefits when they file their 2011 income tax returns.

“Our government is proud to meet our commitment to hard-working Manitoba families,” Selinger said in a recent news release, “We want to make life better for Manitobans and this tax credit will help keep our province affordable with benefits to over 293,000 homeowners and 128,000 tenants.”

“The Ontario Senior Homeowners’ Property Tax Grant is designed for eligible senior homeowners with low and moderate incomes,” says Chartered Accountant Rosa Maria Iuliano, Tax Partner, Collins Barrow Ottawa LLP. “The maximum grant for the 2011 tax year is $500.”

To obtain this grant, you must file Form ON-BEN, Application for the 2011 Ontario Senior Homeowners’ Property Tax Grant, the 2011 Ontario Energy and Property Tax Credit, and the 2011 Northern Ontario Energy Credit with your personal income tax return. While the grant is based on your income tax return, the grant cheque is mailed separately. You will usually receive it four-to-eight weeks after your tax return is assessed.

To qualify for this grant, you must, effective December 31 of the prior year: reside in Ontario; own and occupy your principal residence and have paid property taxes; be 64 years of age or older; and apply for it by filing the form noted above with your tax return.

“Only one grant is allowed per couple,” Iuliano continues, “and the amount of the grant will be restricted based on your income.

“Single seniors who paid over $500 in property taxes and have income under $35,000 will receive the full grant. If their income is between $35,000 and $50,000, the grant is proportionately smaller. If your income exceeds $50,000, no grant is available. Senior couples will qualify for the full $500 grant if their combined income is less than $45,000. If their income is between $45,000 and $60,000, they will receive proportionately less. When their combined income exceeds $60,000, no grant is payable.”

If you were eligible for the grant in 2010 but forgot to apply for it when you filed your 2009 tax return, you can still apply. To do so now, you must request an adjustment to your 2009 tax return and file the 2009 form ON479.

This grant is in addition to the Ontario Energy and Property Tax Credit which you apply for on your tax return, on Form ON479, Ontario Credits.

Starting January 1, 2010, 93 per cent of Ontario income tax payers will get a permanent tax cut, as part of a comprehensive tax plan that will help create 591,000 jobs and make the province more attractive for new business investment.

The province is cutting the first income bracket tax rate by one percentage point, from 6.05 per cent to 5.05 per cent. As a result, Ontario will have the lowest tax rate of all provinces on the first income bracket, and an additional 90,000 lower income Ontario taxpayers will no longer pay any provincial personal income tax.

The comprehensive package also includes $10.6 billion in direct payments and permanent tax relief, including the following:

• Starting in August, nearly 3 million low- to middle-income Ontario families and individuals will receive a new, permanent Ontario Sales Tax Credit of up to $260 for each adult and child per year – one of the most generous in Canada.
• An additional $270 million in annual property tax relief, through enhancements to the Ontario Property Tax Credit, will benefit 2.3 million low- to middle-income homeowners and tenants.
• Starting in June 2010, Sales Tax Transition Benefits will benefit 6.5 million Ontario families and individuals – totalling up to $1,000 for families (including single parents) and up to $300 for single people – in 2010 and 2011.

The Ontario Government is introducing the biggest and most comprehensive tax reform package in decades.

Tax reductions and harmonizing the sales tax are part of a total tax reform package, which, over the next three years, would include $10.6 billion in tax relief for Ontario citizens and $4.5 billion in tax relief for business.

All Ontario taxpayers would see a 16.5% cut in the tax rate on their first $36,848 of taxable income. That is the lowest rate of any province in Canada, and would affect 93% of Ontario taxpayers.

Every low-and middle-income person (including children) will be provided with a permanent annual $260 sales tax credit and the Ontario Property Tax Credit would provide an additional $270 million in property tax relief to tenants and owners.

The proposed HST would not affect items you currently pay both GST and PST on, nor will it affect the following exempt items:

– Basic groceries — Prescription drugs — Municipal public transit — Health and education services — Legal aid

– Most financial services — Auto insurance — Residential rents — Condo fees — Resale homes

– New homes under $400,000 — Child care

– Children’s diapers, clothing and footwear — Children’s car seats and car booster seats — Feminine hygiene products — Books

The proposed harmonization will require federal legislation to levy the provincial portion of the HST which must be voted upon by federal MPs. The federal government has encouraged the provinces to harmonize taxes for some time. As an incentive, Ontario has negotiated $4.3 billion from the federal government to help ease the transition. This money will be passed on to individual Ontarians. Single people earning under $80,000 per year will receive $300, while couples and families earning under $160,000 will receive $1,000.

In order to spend an additional $1,000 on the provincial portion of the HST, one would have to spend $12,500 on items or services on which you currently pay just GST.

Ontario is the business and manufacturing centre of the country, so, naturally, we stand to gain the most by encouraging new investment and increasing competition. When Ontario emerges from this global recession, the world’s economy will be fundamentally different; Ontario must be ready to compete. We cannot attract investment and jobs in the 21st century with a tax system from the 1960s, which is currently in place in Ontario.

We will provide business with input tax credits to effectively eliminate the provincial sales tax that is currently paid through each step of production; from the purchasing of raw materials to shipping, wholesalers and distributors. Ontario is the only jurisdiction in the world that exports 80% of what we make, yet taxes the inputs needed to make these goods. Removing the many layers of embedded taxes will decrease the price of goods.

As a responsible government, during this time of serious economic recession, we have engaged in fundamental tax reform. A vital feature is moving to a single sales tax which is integral to ensure Ontario has a strong future by attracting investment and maintaining competitiveness.
