Headline reads: $250 million in unpaid oil and gas property taxes likely unrecoverable: Alberta government
Part of the article reads: New joint report includes 17 recommendations for recovering taxes from companies in the future. Alberta's government - along with the Rural Municipalities of Alberta, and the province's energy regulator - say they want to crack down on oil and gas companies that don't pay their property taxes. However, while new recommendations are aimed at curbing future instances of unpaid taxes by oil and gas companies, the province said $250 million of unpaid taxes incurred over the years is likely uncrecoverable.
As the party of fiscal responsibility the UCP is working hard every day to make life more affordable for struggling oil & gas companies earning billions in profits during an oil boom by letting them skip out on muni taxes!
