The Canadian Federation of Independent Business thinks municipalities have the opportunity to avoid property tax increases next year. The province’s record $278 million in revenue sharing is the pot of gold that the CFIB sees as making that possible. That’s a total increase OF $27 million from last year. A CFIB survey revealed that 84 per cent of the province’s entrepreneurs said recent municipal property tax hikes have negatively impacted their business. Senior Policy Analyst, Prairie, Jennifer Henshaw says, “We need municipal leaders to commit to holding the line on property taxes to give Saskatchewan’s job creators some certainty and much-needed relief.” Henshaw says other municipalities should follow the lead of Estevan which did not increase property taxes in either 2019 or 2020.
