On March 23, 2020, the Government of Alberta announced new measures for private sector
employers to help them cope with the financial effects of the
COVID-19 crisis. They include:
- an Education property tax freeze
- an Education property tax deferral
for business
- WCB premiums deferral for private
sector businesses, and
- the government covering 50 per cent
of the WCB premium for small and medium companies, when it is
due.
The Education property tax freeze cancels the decision made in
Budget 2020. It will maintain education property taxes at the
previous year’s level.
The Education property tax deferral allows businesses to defer
education property tax for businesses for six months.
