Tax Abatement Discretionary Formula

If a new building is built for an incoming business, it is said to be automatically worth $100,000. Therefore, the following formula would be applied:

  • 1st year of business assessment = 20% x assessed value
  • 2nd year of business assessment = 40% x assessed value
  • 3rd year of business assessment = 60% x assessed value
  • 4th year of business assessment = 80% x assessed value
  • 5th year of business assessment = 100% x assessed value

*There is no corporate income tax or personal income tax.
