Tax collection dates d -to rouMeF large tax arrears Hay Council addressed a problem of pressing urgency - tax arrears - al its inaugural January 7, 1985 meeting. Clerk Joan Ducharme reported $84,000 in taxes is still owed for 1984. almost double the amount she had thought might accrue. Added to $35,000 unpaid from the previous year; and taxes still owing from 1982. the township's tax arrears now total $130,000. A number of explanations were of- fered, Wilder believes the situation reflects the tough times being ex- perienced in the farming community. The possibility of switching to quarterly payments was explored. then discarded. Councillor John Elder said he was not sure this would reduce arrears, and would cause further hardship for some. lie said often cash crop farmers could more easily pay $10,000 in November than $1,000 in March. - The requirement that 60 percent of taxes be paid before farmers apply for a tax rebate was also brought up. Under the present system. only 50 percent of the tax bill is due inJune, and rebate applicatipns are usually sent bpfnre the fial tax due in November. Wilder also believes the township is being used as a borrowing institution The penalty for 1985 arrears was set at 1 I , percent per month, or 15 per- cent annually, at a special council meeting on December 27. The pro- vince dictates the amount a municipality can charge, and the municipality can not exceed the im- posed ceiling. "Our penalty is too low. Some com- panies charge two percent per month. compounded. No wonder we have tax arrears", Wilder remarked. Another factor is the quarterly mandatory payment lathe boards of education. The township is put in the unenviable position of having to bor- row to pay the school tax when its own ratepayers don't pay on time. After a lengthy discussion. council passed a motion that_in 1985. 60 per- cent of the taxes will be due by June 1, with the remaining 40 percent by June 30. and' the remainder by November 30. "Even though this is an election year, decisions have to be made in the best interests of the township". Wilder concluded.
