New Construction or Redevelopment for Businesses

by Maurice | February 2, 2023

Amount:

No Fixed Amount

Type of Program:

Tax Credit


Description:

Under the tax incentive strategy, a tax incentive is provided to businesses in the bio-technology, financial services, IT, aerospace and advanced manufacturing sectors for construction or development. 

Comments on Funding:

The incentive is based on the increase of the real property tax assessment as a result of the project. The annual incentive is calculated on the increase assessment portion of the municipal component of real property tax subsequent to the project being completed.

The incentive allows for the temporary graduated suspension of only the increase of the municipal portion of the assessed value of properties for a period of five (5) years. Any increase in the property assessment or the tax rate levied by the City of Charlottetown during the term of the program is not covered in the Incentive Program. The incentive is a diminishing incentive over a five-year period as follows:

  1. 1
    90% municipal property tax in Year 1 on the portion of increased assessment;
  2. 2
    75% municipal property tax in Year 2 on the portion of increased assessment;
  3. 3
    60% municipal property tax in Year 3 on the portion of increased assessment;
  4. 4
    45% municipal property tax in Year 4 on the portion of increased assessment;
  5. 5
    30% municipal property tax in Year 5 on the portion of increased assessment;
  6. 6
    0% year 6 and beyond.
