TS'UUBAA-ASATX
NOTICE OF PROPOSED LOCAL REVENUE LAWS AND INVITATION TO MAKE REPRESENTATIONS
THIS NOTICE is given pursuant to section 6 of the First Nations Fiscal Management Act (the “FMA”).
Ts'uubaa-asatx (the “First Nation”) proposes to enact the Ts'uubaa-asatx Property Taxation Amendment Law, 2020 and the Ts'uubaa-asatx Property Assessment Amendment Law, 2020 (together, the “Proposed Laws”).
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LAWS: The Proposed Laws are amendments to the existing Ts'uubaa-asatx Property Taxation Law, 2020 and the Ts'uubaa-asatx Property Assessment Law, 2020. The purpose of the Proposed Laws is to provide for a mechanism for the assessment roll and the taxation roll to be changed during a taxation year to add properties whose status change from tax exempt to taxable during the taxation year. This would enable the First Nation to levy property taxes in respect of such properties for a portion of a taxation year.
WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS: The Council of the First Nation invites written representations regarding the Proposed Laws. If you wish to make a written representation, your written representation must be received by the First Nation at the address set out below on or before 5:00 pm, December 6, 2020. Council will consider all written representations received in accordance with this Notice before enacting the Proposed Laws.
ADDRESS AND CONTACT PERSON: For further information or questions regarding the Proposed Laws or this Notice, or to obtain a copy of the Proposed Laws, please contact: Aaron Hamilton, Operations Manager at 313b Deer Road, Lake Cowichan, BC, V0R 2G0, by telephone at 250 749 3301 or by email at aaron@lcfn.ca.
