Toronto strike savings yield property tax break

Posted on by
Reply

The savings recouped from Toronto’s civic workers strike will likely be put towards property tax bills next year instead of being mailed out as rebates to city residents.
The city’s executive committee recommended Monday that the estimated $33.2 million saved in the summer work stoppage be applied to next year’s operating budget.
Some city councillors had pushed for an immediate rebate.
But the city has estimated the cost of issuing and administering rebate cheques at somewhere between $2 million and $3 million.
Mayor David Miller said Monday that reflecting those savings in property tax bills is “the fairest and most efficient way” to return the money to Torontonians.
The proposal is expected to save taxpayers around 2.8 per cent on their tax bills — about $36 million — next year.
But Miller wouldn’t say if property taxes will increase in 2010, or by how much. While there are no official figures out, the city is facing a significant budget shortfall next year.
Council will vote on the executive committee’s recommendation later this month.
The 39-day strike by about 30,000 municipal employees left most residents of Canada’s largest city with no residential garbage or recycling collection. City-run daycares and summer day camps were closed, along with swimming pools and most other city services.

2010 Property Tax Reassessment Notice: WHY? WHEN? HOW?

Posted on by
Reply

WHY?

Under provincial legislation, all properties across Manitoba are being reassessed regularly to make sure that taxes are fairly shared according to the assessed value of owned or leased properties. This is also done to ensure that the assessed values keep pace with real estate market conditions and help property owners understand and evaluate their own assessments.

WHEN?

The new assessment becomes effective in 2010, and will be used on your 2010 property tax statement. Assessment notices are being mailed in advance of the 2010 tax year. This action will benefit you as a property owner, as you will have more time to review your assessment and discuss it with an assessor. It is advantageous for the municipality too, as there will be more time to finalize assessments before the final roll is needed for tax purposes in 2010.

HOW?

Conveniently, you can get your assessment information online by visiting www.gov.mb.ca/assessment. Here, you’ll be informed about the assessment of all properties in Manitoba except in Winnipeg (Winnipeg assessments are available at www.winnipegassessment.com). You will also find answers to frequently asked questions.

Another way is to personally visit an assessor in a community near you. Assessors will hold Open Houses in many communities, offering you a convenient opportunity to discuss your assessment.

New Tax Rules Tax Rulings

Posted on by
Reply

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
