Manitoba farmland owners will see tax relief of over $35 million for the 2011 tax year, as the Farmland School Tax Rebate rises to 80 per cent from 75 per cent.
Rebating 80 per cent of the school tax levies charged on agricultural land increases the disposable income of farmland owners. Since 2004, more than $173 million in rebates have been paid to Manitoba farmland owners. Pre-printed applications for the 2011 rebate will be mailed to all farmland owners who received as rebate for the 2010 tax year. Once the pre-printed forms have been mailed out, blank 2011 farmland School Tax Rebate applications forms will be available at Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation offices, Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives GO offices, most rural municipal offices, as well as online at www.gov .mb.ca/farmland.
