The City of Quinte West likely will not be joining Belleville in offering a Tax Rebate Program to low income seniors.
The city’s Corporate Finance Committee will recommend council not issue tax rebates because of the signicant loss in revenue.
The seniors rebates cost the City of Belleville $108,000 in lost tax revenue last year.
Belleville and Kingston are the only communities offering rebates to seniors out of 8 surveyed in this part of Ontario.
