Restaurants, gyms, hair salons, and small businesses in the service sector are the lifeblood of Nova Scotia’s economy but have suffered as a result of the COVID-19 restrictions.
Recognizing that, the government announced a $7 million rebate program to help the service sector weather the impact of the COVID-19 shutdowns.
The Small Business Real Property Tax Rebate Program provides qualified businesses a one-time rebate of a portion of their paid property taxes. Qualified businesses can choose a rebate of $1,000 or 50% of the commercial real property taxes paid for the final six months of the 2020-21 tax year.
