No rebates Tenants should not expect a property tax rebate cheque from their landlords this year, Ontario Treasurer Charles MacNaughton said this week. Instead, tenants and home- owners will be applying for tax credits when they file their 1972 income tax returns early in 1973. Ontario's residential property tax reduction program of the past four years is being replaced by a new property tax credit plan. Mr. MacNaughton said the new provincial plan, designed to' more equitably distribute the property tax burden among homeowners and tenants, will work through the personal in- come tax system and be admin- istered for Ontario by the Dep- artment of National Revenue. "The property tax credit will conte as an income tax refund cheque or as a reduction in in- come tax. However, I should ad- vise Ontario homeowners that to qualify for the new property tax credit, 19'72 municipal taxes must be paid during 1972, " he said. Mr. MacNaughton said the new system will reduce the total property tax burden by at least $160 million. Low in-, come groups will benefit most. The plan is also being extend- ed to roomers and boarders. The property tax credit plan is restricted to Ontario resid- ents and applies to principal residences only. Residents in homes for the aged or tax- exempt institutions do not qual- ify. The Treasurer said the bene- fit to individual taxpayers will vary "because we have linked property taxes to income taxes and, therefore, to the individu- al's ability to pay. The major- ity of Ontario residents will receive more money back under the new plan. Some will re- ceive about the same as last year, while high income earn- ers will receive less. Homeowners, tenants and others who may be eligible -- such as roomers and students living on campus --will rec- eive instructions on how to apply for and calculate the property tax credit when they receive 1972 income tax return forms early next year.
