“Chariges Distribute
Taxes More Fairly

What. is ‘the change fin

assessments in British Colum-
bia going to do to the mill rate’
and property taxes?

There will be a change in
many mill rates but the inten-

tion is not to raise more taxes

through increased assessments,

It Is to:distribute taxes in a

fairer manner,

‘Jz 'T. Gwartney, commis:

sioner for the British Columbia
which

‘The mill rate refers to the
rate’ of taxation that is supplled
to the assessment of- a- prop-
erty, i.e. the “assessed values”,

. ‘The rate of one mill equals
taxes of $1 for each $1,000 of
assessed value. For example, if
the assessed value is $20,000,
and the mill rate is set at 10,
taxes would amount to §200. ©

To arrive at 4 mill rate for

_agiven year, the taxing author-

is responsible.for producing.an
assessment roll based on actual
values for 1978 schoo! tax pur-
poses, explains:

“We do not have. anything
todo with fixing the mill rate in
municipalities. It is the respon-
sibility of the authority -to
produce a province-wide assess-
ment roll which is used for

school, hospital and gerieral
purposes financing—but the
taxing. authority determines
what taxes will be paid."

“However, we are always
asked: ‘What’ will’ these
changed assesaments do to my
taxes?’ All l can say now is, that
it is impossible to predict, but
tax levies will he more fairly
distributed."

The’ change to property
assessments based on actual
values was approved by the
Legislature this year to correct
inequities which have crept into
the system over many years.

Properties in older, more-
settled communities that have’
perhaps been over-assessed

will now reflect actual values on.

the same basis as properties in
newer areas where values have

been soaring, “Actual” value

means, essentially, “market”
value,

For taxation purposes a
percentage of actual value will
be uséd. For residential proper-
ties, this will be 15 per cent of
actual value. For businesses, it
will be 25 per cent. For
industry, 30 per cent of actual
value.

That percentage is known
as the “assessment value,” and
this will be shown on the new
assessment notice.

Gwartney offered this ex-
planation of how the ‘actual
value assessments will affect
taxes:

if you're.

, and don’t know.
¢ Which way to turn,
‘Ss. gall the

ity how much money
it needs to run the municipality
for a.year (the budget), It
decides how much of the budget
must be ‘raised from property
taxes, and divides this figure by
the. total assessed value of all
property in the area. This cal-
culation is'done twice—once for
general purposes and once for
school and hospital purposes.
So, if the total assessment
in an area {is $6 million, and if

- the budget set by a municipal

council is $72,000, then $72,000
would be divided by $6 million
to produce a result of 0.012, or
12 mills.

So, to raise its $72,000 on
an assessment base of $6

million, council would set the

mill rate at 12, 5
If assessments are record-

“ed at actual value and these are

four times.as high, the mill rate
to be struck would’ be lower.
The taxing authority still needs
$72,000, but with an assess-
ment roll: of $24 million the
result would, be -0.003. which,
multiplied’: by 1,000, would
produce a rate of three mills.
‘Property “owners” would

‘still pay the same amount of tax

dollars, even though total as-
-sessments were four times as
high, Gwartney said.

‘from the

Christmas— When to. Stop

Shopping?

Is{t too soon nto think about
how you will celebrate Christ-
mas this year? We’think not,
because’ Christmas. shopping
has already started, and it’s the
‘shopping part of Christmas
‘which, for many of us, is the
most questionable aspect of
Christmas.

A recent meeting of Sun-
day Schoo! teachers raised the
question, “How can we give
gifts this year so the children

will think more of the giving

than of the getting?”

Ghastly stories are often
heard of children who rip open
one Christmas package after
another, and: then, when it's
finished, ask; “Is that all?” We
would like you to consider, now,
how this distortion of Christ-
mas can be counteracted.

The teachers hadno solu-

tions, but various suggestions—

some impossible, some worth
considering—were heard.

Among the - suggestions _

were these:

1, Abolish gift-giving com-
pletely. Make ‘birthdays, not
Christmas, the time to receive

ts.
2. Limit the number of
. gifts the children get, and warn
them ahead that they're getting
only a few aie and explain

8. Have the children take
one.of their gifts, re-wrap it,
and take it to church or in some
other: way have “it sent to a
children's ‘hospital. or some
other place where it will be
really appreciated, This. way
the children will see giving is
part of Christmas. And don't let
them re-wrap the gift they
liked least, but one they think
other children would., enjoy
havingt =~

4, Have the children give a
special gift, as above, that they
bought for the purpose,

§, Puta limit on how much
the children can spend, and on
how. much you will spend on
them. Then make shopping fun,
to see what you can get and
keep to your budget.

6. Try making gifts instead
of just buying them.

4. For that person who has
everything, or the child who,
has too much, give some money

to a charity and send them a

card explaining that this year

you sent a gift to someone who

needed it more than they and

that next year, they can do the

same for you!

‘+: It's not too soon for us‘and

our families to decide on our.
Christmas. giving. The above

ideas may get you thinking. ”
We'd be glad to hear of your
~own. ideas/on how to put the

emphasis on. giving, instead of.
on: getting.
