Conditions governing the creation of SDCs

The conditions governing the creation, termination or existence of a SDC are determined under the Cities and Towns Act, R.S.Q., chapter C-19. The borough council regulates the boundaries of a commercial area within which only a single commercial district, encompassing at least 50 business premises, may be created.

An elected administrative council decides on the annual budget of the SDC and parameters of the contribution.

The Contribution

Payment of this contribution is mandatory for members, which cannot vote at SDC meetings until they have done so.

The city collects these contributions and remits them in full to each SDC’s  administrative council. GST and QST are charged on SDC contributions except in certain cases.

Taxation

Businesses occupying a commercial space on January 1 are billed for SDC dues. No complete refund will be issued to a business that ceases doing business during the year within a SDC's territory.

Collection

Any payment of less than $300 must be made ina single instalment. Any payment of $300 or more can be made in two instalments.The dates are the same as property taxes (March,1  and  June,1).
