ONTARIO PE OPERIY TAX GRANT
CATIONS.
Last year Ontario replaced its system of 'Ihx
Credits for seniors with a new program of
Property and Sales 'Mx Grants to help offset
municipal, school and retail sales taxes. The
Property 'Ihx Grant of up to $500 per household
is provided in two installments annually. The
Sales Tax Grant is an automatic $50 paid each
year to all Ontario residents 65 and over.

S
APPLICATIONS
The 1980 Property Tax Grant was paid to
recipients in one payment. In 1981, the Grant
is being paid in two installments. The first
payment, sent automatically in the spring, was
equal to one-half the amount of your 1980 Grant.
'Ib qualify for the final installment you must
submit an application to the Ministry of Revenue.
If you receive the federal Old Age Security
pension, and are eligible, you will receive this
application for your Property Tax Grant during
the first hall of September, 1981. Those who
reach the age of 65 between now and December
will receive their applications early in 1982.
Seniors who are not eligible for federal Old Age
Security payments, but who have previously
established eligibility for the Property 'Mx Grant
will also receive an application.
The Ministry of Revenue'is mailing applications
only to those seniors who are thought to be
eligible. If you do not receive an application by
September 21 and feel you qualify, please contact
our toll-free Information Centre.
ELIGIBILITY
If you're 65 or over and own or rent your home
you're eligible for the Property Tax Grant of
up to $500.
If you rent your grant will total 20% of your
rent or $500, whichever is less.
If you own your principal residence your grant
will equal the amount of your property taxes or
$500, whichever is less.
If you are married and reside with your spouse
or if you share accommodation with someone
over 65, only one grant will be paid per household.
If you share your home with anyone over 65 other
than your spouse, the grant will be apportioned
according to rent or property tax paid.
Thke care to complete your
application form accurately!
Take a few extra minutes to fill out your
application; and then check it again for
accuracy. This makes it much easier for
the Ministry to process your form and
get your cheque to you.
Cheques will be mailed beginning the
latter part of October.
EXCEPTIONS
If you reside in a nursing home, a home for the
aged or similar institution, you're not eligible
for the Property Tax Grant unless you pay for
the full cost of your care and the institution pays
municipal and school taxes.
If you reside in a tax-exempt property, you are
not eligible.
However, if you move into a tax-exempt property
or a nursing home, home for the aged or similar
institution during 1981, you are eligible for a
Property Tax Grant based on your occupancy
costs prior to your move.
If you moved permanently to Ontario during
1981, your Property Tax Grant is based on the
time you resided in Ontario.
SALES TAX GRANTS
The $50 Sales Tax Grant cheques will be
distributed automatically to all Ontario seniors
in October.
