About the Dispute Advisory Panel

The Payments in Lieu of Taxes Dispute Advisory Panel provides advice to the Minister of Public Services and Procurement to resolve disputes about payments in lieu of taxes between the federal government and local taxing authorities.

The panel has the mandate to provide advice pertaining to the resolution of disputes about property value, property dimension or effective rate used to calculate payments in lieu of taxes, or about a claim for a late payment supplement.

The panel also provides advice to the heads of Crown corporations who exercise their own discretion concerning their respective corporation's payments in lieu of taxes.

Please refer to the panel's Rules of Practice, which detail the rules and procedures relating to a taxing authority's application for a review by the panel, the preparation of a hearing and the hearing itself.
