School Taxes

The reddish/pink section is the School Taxes. This is the amount of property taxes you pay to the Seine River School Division. The Seine River School Division sets their own Mill Rates that they require to operate all schools within their division. 

The Province of Manitoba requires that School Divisions set their mill rate, and municipalities must collect and remit those taxes on behalf of the School Division. The Province provides a Homeowner's Affordability Tax Credit (HATC) to residential properties. It is only applicable to the primary residence of a property owner (cannot have it on more than 1 property). It is the responsibility of the property owner to complete a declaration form with the Town in order to receive the credit on the property tax bill.

1. School Division - this is the school division that operates within the Town of Ste. Anne, and their Mill Rate. The same formula for municipal taxes is used here to calculate your school taxes.
   For Commercial and Other Properties, an additional Education Support Levy may be applied to your property tax bill. This is a school tax collected by the Province from other property classifications (not residential) for education services through the Province.
2. Tax Credits and Rebates - If you see this line on your property tax bill, it means you are received the Homeowner's Affordability Tax Credit. It is to a maximum as set by the Province, and is deducted from your amount owing on school taxes. 
   If you do not see this, and your property tax bill is for your primary residence, you can complete a form found here on our website:https://steannemb.ca/hatc
3. Net School Taxes is the total school taxes being paid for the year after credits are applied.
