The logical choice,
4pttings.,
b review tax reform.
(By Jack Riddell, M.P.P.)
411 The Provincial Government has
established a Commission to,
' review the Proposals for Tax
Reform which were contained in
Budget Paper E of this year's
Provincial Budget. ' This
Commission is conducting a
series Of meetings throughout, the
Province this summer and fall,
before submitting its recom-
mendations , to the Ciovernnoent.
In Budget Paper E, the Govern-
ment gave a brief, review 'of the
background of, and reasons for,
market value assessment, which
may be of interest.
According to this government
review:
"The values upon which taxes
are currently levied date as far
back as 1940, They are values
which were, determined by local
assessors taking into account
factors which were important to
each municipality but not neces-
sarily, important beyo'nd the
boundaries of each. During this
period, Ontario experienced rapid
urbanization and inequities grew
within, each municipality as new
properties were brought onto the
assessment roll and the values of
older properties were not
updated. Meanwhile, the sharing
of costs a,nd responsibilities
among municipalities, ' and .
between municipalities and the
'Province,. steadily 'increased in
importance. As provincial grants
were increased over the years,
local and provincial financing
became more interrelated.
Because the locally-determined
property assessment was the base
for sharing many costs and
determining grant entitlements,
deficiencies in local assessment
obviously created inequities in
provincial-municipal financing.
"The . Province adopted a
system Of equalization factors to
correct for the variations in local
property assessments. At best,
howeyer, these factors could
correct only in the total sense for
"Initially, completion of the
reassessment program was
planned for December 1975 for
1976 taxation. However, in , a
relatively short period of time, the
real estate market in Ontario
became extremely active with
prices rising at unprecedented
and unexpected rates, These
Conditions caused values placed
on properties, to be hopelessly out
of date within several months,
making meaningful tax analyses
impossible. Therefore, the sche-
dule for the implementation of
reassessed values was delayed
until the 1977 tax year.
"The Province' has almost
completed the reassessment of all
properties in , Ontario., It is
intended that-Ouce market value
is established, it will be kept up to
date,
"The use of property taxation
will continue to be the exclusive
right of local governments and
the main source of their tax
revenues. The property tax has
proven to .be a good tax for the
raising, of local funds. No other
level of government uses property
as a tax source. Furthermore,
local governments have consider-
able flexibility in setting mill
rates in accordance with their
financial requirements. With the
'introduction of the property lax
credit system which virtually
eliminated the regressive
features. of the tax, the revenue-
raising capacity of property taxa- •
tion has been greatly enhanced.
"During this period of
reassessment, the' Province has
also been'analysing the' effects of
the new values on the distribution
of taxes 'among taxpayers and on
municipal finance. The develop-
ment of a compatible property tax
system - for introduction with
Market value assessments -is
fundamental to a pragmatic pro-
gram of reform." ' 4
The Government's Proposals
for Reform of Property Taxation
in Ontario are intended to estab-
lish an appropriate distribution Pf
tax burdens among classes of real
property, tb achieve a more
neutral business assessment rate;
and to broaden the local tax base
by removing exemptions.
Under the proposals, resi-
dences in Ontario, collectively,
would bear a"recluced. share of
property taxes and residential
property would be redefined to
include only 'residences and a
reasonable amount of land. The
current practice of levying differ-
ent mill rates on residential and
commercial properties would be
discontinued.
Farmland, farm buildings,
managed forests and farm .resi-
dences would be assessed at
market „value. Farmland, farm
buildings and managed forests
would be taxed at 100% of market
value and the taxes would be paid
by the Province. Farm residences
would be taxed as all other
residences at 50% of market
'value :and the taxes paid by the
owner. There would be provision 4
to recover taxes paid— by"'-the''
Province if the property changes
use.
All real property used for the
purpose of a business including
government administrative facili-
ties would be subject to an
additional assessment of 50% of
market value for business taxes.
I will report further' on the
Government's Proposals for
Reform of Property Taxation in
Ontario, and shall be interested to
hear any comments and views on
this subject.
