Payments in Lieu of Taxes Program (PILT) tax year data: Number of applications received and finalized

The Payments in Lieu of Taxes Program is administered by Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC). Every year more than $560 million is distributed to approximately 1,100 taxing authorities where property owned by federal departments is situated. Payments made under the Payments in Lieu of Taxes Act are based on the principle of fairness respecting both the taxing authorities and the federal government and are equitable in comparison to those made by other property owners. Payments are calculated on the basis of values and tax rates which would, in the opinion of the Minister of Public Works and Government Services, apply to federal property if it were taxable. The dataset lists PILT tax year data: Number of applications received, Number of payments issued to taxing authorities and Number of applications finalized by March 31st.
