by Applications open today for one of the province’s assistance programs for businesses during the pandemic.
The Small Business Real Property Tax Rebate Program was announced in March.
It offers businesses a one-time rebate of a portion of their paid property taxes.
Qualified businesses can choose a rebate of a thousand dollars or 50 per cent of the commercial property taxes paid for the final six months of the 2020-21 tax year.
The province says nearly 3,300 businesses qualify for the rebate, including restaurants and bars, gyms, and hair salons and barber shops, as well as tattoo shops, spas, and nail salons.
Applications opened last week for The Small Business Impact Grant Part 3 and The Tourism Accommodations Real Property Tax Rebate Program Part 2.
