Changes to the Ontario Farm Tax
Rebate Program for 1989 have been
announced by Jack Riddell, minis-
ter of agriculture and food.
"As in the past, the program will
be targeted to •property owners
whose gross farm production
income is at least $5,000 in North-
ern and Eastern Ontario and ,000
in other parts of the province.
"Changes to be made in 1989
-will target the program more close-
ly to those whose main occupation
is farming,” Mr. Riddell says.
"During the course of the year
my ministry, in consultation with
farm groups, will evaluate the pro-
gram to determine its long-term
direction."
Rebates Will be paid only on
operties which are farmed, at
ast in part, by the owner. The
ate will be reduced by five per
nt for every $1,000 of owner's off
-
m income in excess of $40,000
en there is only one property
ner, or $60,000 when there are
o or more property owners.
Existing gross production value
criteria still applies. Gross produc-
tion value is defined as total farm
sales plus or minus changes in
inventory, minus the cost of pur-
chased feed or livestock.,
Retired farmers and their spous-
es, spouses of deceased farmers,
individuals who have been
required to reduce production due
to illness and farmers who rent
farm parcels to their own farm
operations, will be eligible to
receive benefits under the program.
"We have taken into considera-
tion these special categories of peo-
ple who have dedicated their lives
to the agricultural industry in
Ontario. Their contribution to the
industry has been significant and
the program continues to reflect
this," Mr. Riddell adds.
An interim payment will not be
made in 1989. instead of two pay
ments, there will be a single pay-
ment in the fall.
Applications and brochures will
be mailed to all potentially -eligible
