In July 2004, the County of Bruce passed By-Law No. 4088 to establish a tax rebate program for the purpose of providing tax relief on eligible property occupied by eligible charities.
In accordance with County of Bruce By-Law No. 4088, eligible charities may apply annually for a tax rebate. To be eligible, the charity must have a registration number issued by the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency under Section 248(1) of the Income Tax Act.
The application must be submitted to the lower-tier municipality where the eligible charity is located. Applications may be submitted after January 1 of the taxation year and no later than the last day of February of the year following the taxation year.
The eligible charity’s property or properties must be within the commercial or industrial property class. Payments to eligible charities will be made in accordance with County of Bruce By-Law No. 3902.
Charities that move to another lower-tier municipality, either within or outside the County of Bruce, during a taxation year are required to repay a prorated amount of the rebate to the lower-tier municipality that issued the rebate. Charities that move within a lower-tier municipality during a taxation year may also be required to repay a portion of the rebate.
By submitting this application, the applicant confirms that they have read and understand the contents of this application and County of Bruce By-Law No. 4088, and agree to abide by the requirements of the By-Law.
Proof of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency registration number under Section 248(1) of the Income Tax Act is required.
