Georgina, Ontario - The Ultimate Slap In The Face

The Ultimate Slap In The Face

After a closed door meeting council voted to stick Georgina Taxpayers with the bill for a defamation lawsuit by Mayor Grossi against the former Georgina Leisure services Director John McLean. You can read more about this decision and  Help stop your tax dollars from paying for the lawsuit. There is also an online petition to stop the funding for Mayor Grossi's lawsuit.

An article in the Georgina Advocate indicated Mayor Grossi would donate any funds he receives as a result of his lawsuit to a charity yet to be named.

The irony is he will likely get a charitable tax receipt that he can then use to reduce his personal taxable income.


The Ultimate Slap In The Face

Should this happen it would be the ultimate slap in the face to taxpayers who would have footed the bill for the resources used to obtain the funds used to fund his tax deductions.

Halloween Safety Tips

  • Warn children to not eat any of their treats before they get home.
  • Examine all treats carefully before allowing children to eat them.
  • use flame resistant costumes, masks, beards, and wigs.
  • Avoid flimsy materials and outfits with big, baggy sleeves or billowing skirts to minimize the risk of contact with candles or other sources of ignition.
  • Make or buy costumes that are light and bright enough to be clearly visible to motorists.
  • Carry flashlights to see, and be seen, more easily.
  • Costumes should be short enough to prevent children from tripping and falling.
  • Hats and scarfs should be tied securely to prevent them from slipping over children's eyes.
  • Apply a natural mask of cosmetics rather than have a child wear a loose fitting mask.
  • Swords, knives, and similar costume accessories should be of soft or flexible material.
  • Smaller children should always be accompanied by an older responsible child or an adult.
  • Children should be cautioned against running out from between parked cars, or across lawns and yards where ornaments, furniture, or clothes-lines present dangers.
  • Do not enter homes or apartments unless accompanied by an adult.

Uxbridge, Ontario - A Reminder From The Tax Office - Your 2011 Property Taxes Are Due

You May Not Get A Personal Reminder From The Tax Office That Your 2011 Property Taxes Are Due

But Failure to pay them on time will result in an immediate penalty of 1.25%.

The last installment of your Uxbridge property taxes are due by Friday September 30th, 2011.


Monthly Payment/Pre-Authorized Payments

Uxbridge offers two different methods or plans for pre-authorized payments. The first is a monthly plan that authorizes the town to take your tax payments in 11 monthly installments directly from your bank account with the first payment being January the 1st and on the 1st of each month thereafter until the last payment on November the 1st . The second authorizes them to take four installment payments on the due dates usually the end of February, April, June and September. For more information  visit The Treasury Department (tax office) or download the forms from the Town website.

Don't forget to save your recipted tax bill for income tax purposes
it will cost you $10.00 to get a reprinted one.

Modern Day Taxation

Taxes in one form or another have been with us throughout recorded history from the taxes collected by the Scribes of the Egyptian Pharaohs to the war time tax of the Athenians to the taxes imposed by the Roman Empire.

On the surface taxes today are collected in a manner deemed to be fair and equitable, unfortunately if one looks at the various means that some are able to employ to avoid taxes you begin to realize that the average person is likely paying more than his or her fair share.

There are few taxes that we can avoid but we can ensure we pay only our fair share by understanding how your property is assessed and what tax avoidance incentives there are for you to employ.

Some of my earlier posts may be of help to those wishing to ensure they pay only their fair share.

A Warning To Local Udora Residents

Local residents are being warned be on the lookout for the safety of their pets and livestock by a Udora resident who had an Alpaca destroyed by a bear or cougar.

Watch Your Pets and Livestock

Wild animals such as deer, rabbits, raccoons and skunks are often spotted in and around Udora and other areas of Georgina. On occasion we also hear of a resident black bear or two being spotted enjoying a feed of seed at someones bird feeder or galloping across their yard. This is the first time we have heard of a large animal being attacked and killed by another animal other than by coyotes. 

This past weekend the brown Alpaca in the picture was attacked and killed, possibly by a bear or cougar, in the east side of Udora.
