I have advised the Mayor and also the property owner
that for the 1992 roll Section 398(q.1) M/Act would

apply and the property would be exempt from taxation.

Concerns :

TS EATER LET EOD

BFIT is no different than any other business in the park.
They are in operation to make a profit.

Why should BFI escape taxation. They should pay taxes
like others in the park. This is a cast of doing

business.

The taxation load will be shifted to others if the
property is exempt from taxation.

I believe His Worship and staff will bring this situation to
the attention of U.B.C.M. with a view to having Section
398(q.1) of the M.Act rewritten.

I certainly understand the Mayor's position. In this day and
age of quick technological advancements I wonder if the
writers of Section 398(q.1) M/Act ever envisioned such a
property. Perhaps 398(q.1) should be rewritten in view of

tedays fast changing technologies.
