Livestock Producers Receive Tax Relief for 2017
The Government of Canada has released the final list of designated regions where livestock tax deferral has been authorized for 2017 due to drought, flood or excess moisture conditions.
Some of the local areas covered by the tax deferral include Birch Hills, and the Rural Municipalities of Prince Albert and Buckland.
Arnold Ballicki is the District 9A director for the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association. He said the announcement is good news for producers.
“That really helps livestock producers with their tax situation, I mean it would be a real shame for them to have to be forced to sell because of a lack of feed or feed is too expensive,” he said.
