“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.

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.
