KAP Involved In Developing Education Tax Report

Jun 12, 2017

Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP) is working with the Manitoba School Boards Association and other groups, to develop a report for the provincial government on different ways to fund education.

KAP has been asking for a new funding model for years, to correct the inequity of producers being taxed on farmland and buildings, while non-farmers are only taxed on their residences.

"One way of looking at it is taking advantage of maybe having this opportunity to talk about it before it becomes a full on review or task force or something like that," said KAP President Dan Mazier.
