7 How Taxes Are Calculated

8 – Three factors that determine the amount of tax each home pays: Variable A - Tax revenue needed to balance the budget & fund services (determined by Council) Variable B - Total assessed values of all properties (Provided by BC Assessment) Variable C - Mill Rate generated by dividing the revenue needed by the assessed value Tax Revenue A Assessed Values B / 1,000 Mill Rate C

9 How Taxes Are Calculated Assessed Value Changes – Assessed value increases DO NOT bring revenue windfall to municipalities – Council determines the amount of tax to collect not BC Assessment – Once Council sets the tax revenue, this revenue variable is fixed – When the assessed values rise, the mill rate is decreased to generate the same level of taxation approved by Council Tax Revenue Assessed Values Mill Rate A / (B/1,000) = C
