OFA response
The Ontario Federation of Agriculture
(OFA) has called for provincial government
commitment to a continued study of property
tax reform, in response to the announcement
of a revised farm tax reduction program.
In the interim, the OFA has accepted the
new program which will rebate 60 per cent of
property taxes to eligible farmers. In addi-
tion, the new program will offer broader
eligibility requirements than the present
program, which offers a 50 per cent rebate.
"In looking at the new program, we had to
decide what was in the best interests of the
farm community, although the new program
is not what we originally asked for," OFA
President Ralph Barrie said.
Barrie was referring to a proposal by the
government to rebate 100 per cent of
property taxes on productive farm land.
However, after the proposal was announced,
further research found out that the plan
would actually increase taxes for many
farmers and cause problems with equaliza-
tion payments.
"The OFA policy has always been to
reform the property tax system," Barrie
said,
