AIMS President & CEO Charles Cirtwill joined Rick Howe of News 95.7 to talk about how AIMS has come together with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives – Nova Scotia and the Nova Scotia Chambers of Commerce to encourage the province to to take a serious look at eliminating property taxes. They are calling on the NS government to undertake a study into the potential for a shift from municipal property taxes to municipal income taxes as the principal source of municipal revenue.
The three organizations have each released reports that reach similar conclusions: the property tax system is flawed, inefficient, unfair and not conducive to economic growth and competitiveness.
