In an effort to achieve the equalization goal farmers will receive a 100 per cent tax rebate on farm acreage` and production buildingsxtending the pre- sent program of 50 per cent rebates. Rural residences with an acre lot will be assessed on the basis of rates charged in the nearest com- munity. - According to Perth Federa- tion of Agriculture president Ron Christie, the new pro- gram, to be implemented in 1984. will give farmers parity with urban taxpayers on what is paid in educational taxes. Mr. Christie explains that farmers in the past have paid an unproportionately high rate of educational taxes because many farmers with two or three farms were assessed for each. The new program is an extension of the Farm Tax Rebate Program started in 1981 in which farmers re- ceived 50 per cent rebates. Mr. Christie explains that . the new program is simpler to implement than a total re- structuring of the tax system to equalize payments. "The old plan was only a band-aid solution,' he said. ne auuuts tear the new program will help farmers. but cautions that tjtc assess- ment change on farm resi- dences will increase the tax amount paid, which tradi-• tionally has been lower in' rural compared to urban areas. He explains that the Ontario government paid out $84 million in rebates m 1982 and is expected to pay out $104 million in 1984. According to Mr. Christie. assessment people will be v' ,icing area farms to estab- lish which buildings will be assessed to the residence and which will fall under the category of production build- ings to receive the rebate.
