"Manitoba homeowners will soon get more relief on their tax bills.

Premier Greg Selinger announced on Thursday that the education property tax credit will increase from $650 to $700.

Homeowners will have the credit subtracted from their property tax bills starting this summer while renters will receive the increased benefit when they file their 2011 income tax returns."


Anyone care to weigh in on this?

Another pre-election "gift" from the NDP?

Further...how long before some other idiot-douchbag sees a reduction in taxes, and proposes a proportional tax/fee increase to "fill the gap"?

Even the trustees dont get it.

They actually say.. LOOK!!! in the last 10 years the Taxes you pay on that $100K house have actually gone down.!

ex.

2001. 100K house
school taxes. $1000
you pay $1000 on your tax bill


2011 100K house
school taxes $1600
education property tax credit $750
you pay $850 on your tax bill!!

thats $150 less then 10 years ago so dont say we keep raising taxes!!!

I hope MacFayden comes out and says he will remove ALL the education tax from tax bills.

If he set a time for it to happen most people would take him at his word imo.
