Making a tax payment

Payments can be made using these convenient methods:

1. PTP (Pre-authorized Tax Payment Program)

For your convenience, the Town of Milton can make pre-authorized automatic withdrawals from your bank account for tax payments. The deadline to enroll for the 2010 Interim billing period was October 30, 2009. A second enrollment period to join in time for the 2010 final billing is available until April 30, 2010. Please note that you may only enroll in the Pre-authorized Tax Payment Program if all taxes have been paid in full for the 2010 interim billing period and all prior years before the start date for this program and your property must be fully assessed to include both the land and structure values.

Choose from two convenient withdrawal options:

Plan Type	Number of withdrawals per year	Withdrawal dates
Monthly plan	12	Last business day of each month, from November to October.
Due Date plan	4	Last business day of February, April, June and September.

Applying for PTP

Complete the PTP Application Form.
Attach a void cheque to the application (line of credit, credit card and savings cheques cannot be used).
Return the application form and void cheque to the Town Hall.

Accounts in arrears

The Town of Milton also offers a PTP plan for accounts in arrears. For more information or to obtain an Arrears Plan Application Form contact theTax Division at 905-878-7252, ext. 2193
