In most cases, government agencies pay the full amount of Payments in Lieu of Taxes that the City requests. There may, however, be outstanding Payments in Lieu of Taxes amounts requested from federal, provincial or municipal bodies that the Controller has concluded, in consultation with the City Solicitor, to be uncollectible. In these cases, the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71 (Financial Control) provides authority to the Controller, in consultation with the City Solicitor, to adjust for accounting purposes any outstanding receivables in respect of Payments in Lieu of Taxes that have been determined unlikely to be paid. No Payments in Lieu of Taxes receivables are being recommended for adjustment/write-off at this time.
