Annual Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) paid to taxing authorities across Canada

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 Services and Procurement, apply to federal property if it were taxable. The dataset lists payments in lieu of taxes paid to taxing authorities across Canada for a specific tax year.
