Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2018-05-23.
This bill would let the government charge a tax on pathology collection centre approvals that last more than one year.
It changes the Pathology Tax Act so that the tax can be calculated for approvals longer than a year, instead of only for one-year approvals.
A two-year approval would cost $2,000, and centres co-located with certain pathology labs would still pay no tax.
- Amends the Pathology Tax Act to allow a tax for approvals of more than one year.
- Extends the maximum approval period from one year to two years.
- Sets the tax for a two-year approval at $2,000.
- Keeps the nil tax rate for collection centres on the same site as a category GX or GY pathology laboratory.
