a ndicapped to get sales tax reb,t?
The Honourable Margaret
Scrivener, Minister of
Revenue, announced last
week that a total of $63,267 in
sales tax has been rebated
during the first year of a
special program designed to
assist the permanently
physically handicapped.
The program provides a
rebate of the seven per cent
provincial retail sales tax
paid on all new or used motor
vehicles specially adapted for
permanently physically
handicapped individuals
living in Ontario but unable to
use public transportation.
Non-profit associations
purchasing such vehicles are
also eligible for the rebate. In
both cases, the primary use of
the vehicle must be to
transport the permanently
physically handicapped.
In a summary , of the
program's performance over
the past year, Mrs. Scrivener
said that to September 15,
1977, $53,940 in rebates has
been paid to individuals.
Fourteen of the 166 total
claims. were submitted by
non-profit organizations, for a
total rebate of $9,327.
"I am pleased that my
Ministry, with the assistance
of the Ontario Advisory
Council on the Physically
Handicapped, has been able
to initiate this program,"
Mrs. Scrivener stated, "and I
am most gratified by the
results to date. The value of
the program is clearly
evident, not only in terms of
monetary relief for the
handicapped, but more im-
portantly by increasing the
mobility of Ontario's han-
dicapped. and physically
disabled.
"And this," Mrs. Scrivener
emphasized, "is surely a
benefit that cannot be
measured in dollars and
cents."
The rebate must be applied
for within two years of
payment of the sales tax, and
emust be accompanied by the
vehicle purchase invoice
indicating price and tax paid,
a copy of the invoice for the
supply and installation of the
special equipment, and a
statement describing the
disability of the person using
the vehicle. Applicants for the
rebate on vehicles must also
submit a 'statement in-
dicating that the vehicle will
not be operated at a profit,
and will be used mainly to
