Managed forest tax reduction program increased Bob Penwell - Management Forester ^ An increase in the Managed Forest Tax Reduction Program was announced by the Ontario Treasurer in the recent budget. The increase from 60 percent of property property tax assessed to 100 percent represents a significant saving to forest owners who qualify under the terms of the program. The rebate increase will become effective for the 1987 tax year. To qualify for the rebate, a woodlot owner must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada and own the property. For 1986, at least 60 percent of the tax on the forest must have been paid, and it must meet the definition of a "managed forest". The "managed forest" must contain a minimum of four hectares on one parcel of land or any number of adjacent parcels under the same ownership. If less than 10 hectares, the forest must be managed managed under the Woodlands Improvement Improvement Act or a plan prepared by a registered professional forester. A forest comprising 10 hectares or more may qualify without a plan if livestock does not occupy the forest and any cutting taking place is done in accordance with good forestry practice.
