Farm Building Exemption Changes in Manitoba Bill
A Manitoba bill to widen farm building exemptions under the Municipal Assessment Act and to tax cable TV operators was introduced for second reading. It lowers the minimum farm size for exemptions to four acres, removes non family corporate farm exemptions, and imposes a 1 percent gross revenue tax on cable firms. Amendments also would apply the National Building Code to larger communities and empower a board to enforce it.
