The Government of Ontario's Tax Assistance Plan
is helping the elderly. Cheques have already
been sent to more than 230,000 people:
and many will soon receive additional assistance.
Paying taxes is tough for everyone.
But some people have a particularly difficult time. Like the
elderly. They are hard-pressed by rising property taxes.
To help lighten their Toad, the Government has introduced
a new plan. It is called 1970 Tax Assistance for the Elderly.
The plan will pay out up to $100 to help elderly people —those
who receive the Federal Guaranteed Income Supplement—to help
pay their property taxes, or rent.
In all, more than 230,000 persons across Ontario will, receive
$17 million in benefits.
1970 Tax Assistance for the elderly is an immediate step to
relieve the pressure of property taxes. And an important one.
