Thunder Bay Eyes Higher MAT Amid Tax Gaps From Rentals
Thunder Bay city council plans a MAT increase from four to five percent while administration flags many short term rental properties on platforms like Airbnb do not pay. Councillor Andrew Foulds criticized six years of noncompliance, noting potential revenue losses of 110 000 to 220 000 yearly. The city pursues education and a compliance partner before possible registrations or audits. The MAT has raised 12.2 million since rollout, split for tourism and development.
