The Tax Instalment Payment Plan or TIPP is a monthly tax instalment payment plan that allows property and business owners to make consecutive monthly payments for taxes rather than a single annual payment.
The TIPP program starts on January 1 st of each year and payments are made on the first banking day of each month by automatic withdrawal from an account with chequing privileges at a financial institution.
Property and business owners have the ability to enroll on the TIPP program at any time during the year and have flexibility when it comes to the number of monthly instalments they can choose from.
The chart below shows the minimum and maximum number of months assuming a January 1 st start date.
| Minimum number of Months (Month) | Maximum number of Months (Month) | |
|---|---|---|
| Property Taxes | 7 (July) | 12 (December) |
| Business Taxes | 6 (June) | 12 (December) |
There is no application fee for this service if you start the plan on January 1 st . However, if you join after January 1 st , a one-time non-refundable 2% late payment fee will be applied on the missed instalment payments. The missed instalments together with the late payment fee can either be paid at the time of application or be included in the remaining instalment payments for the year.
The TIPP program collects taxes for the calendar year January 1 st to December 31 st and ensures that all taxes are paid.
There is a monthly TIPP administration fee (see Fee for Service rates) that is included in each monthly instalment payment for all TIPP participants.
Under the TIPP program property and business taxes are paid in full after the December 1 st withdrawal or earlier depending on the term you have selected and business taxes are paid in full after the October 1 st withdrawal or earlier depending on the term you have selected.
Existing TIPP customers who receive a supplementary property tax notice will have the supplementary property taxes added to their monthly TIPP payment over twelve equal monthly installments, instead of being required to pay them off over the remaining installments left in the calendar year.
You can estimate your TIPP payments through the TIPP Estimator located under the Self Service section of our website. Estimate your TIPP payment.
