Are you eligible for a tax rebate? Take a look.

Assistance

Assistance programs in the event of disasters and emergencies are available through the upper-tier County of Oxford. More information can be found on their Human Services page.

Eligible charity tax rebate

Oxford County has established a program to provide tax rebates to eligible charities. Registered charities which occupy property in the commercial or industrial class may be eligible for property tax rebates of 40 per cent. All those who wish to apply must have a valid registration number issued by The Canada Revenue Agency and submit an application by the last day of February following the tax year.

The tax rebate offered to charities is intended to offset property tax increases that resulted from the elimination of the Business Occupancy Tax. Qualifying charities must apply each year for the rebate.

Please see the County of Oxford By-Law 5263-2011 to check your charities' eligibility or for details regarding the application.
