17. 4/24/2013 12:00:00 AM Perverse taxes block power mergers
    published by National Post
    Perverse taxes block power mergers National Post Debate has flared in Ontario about how to deal with its local electricity distributors particularly the prospective need for mergers and the systems investment requirements The upcoming provincial budget gives the government the opportunity to fix its tax policyThe recent report of the Ontario distribution Sector Review Panel noted the need for investment to transform the local electricity distribution sector into one that uses modern technology to put its customers first The report anticipated billions of dollars in required fundingMost electricity distributors in Ontario are owned by municipal governments which are unlikely to supply the money needed to invest in their electricity distributors Moreover additional capital investments face restrictions in the Municipal Act The report recommended that the province force 73 of these local electricity system distributors to merge into a handful of regional distributors Ontarians need only look to past municipal amalgamations to see how forced amalgamations can turn out They are politically contentious and unsuccessful at delivering improved service for moneyRather than worrying about the appropriate size of an electricity distributor or forcing mergers the province should reform its tax policies in its upcoming budget to let private sector investors and individual municipalities make these decisionsAnd what is stopping them from doing so The current tax system has discouraged private sector investment in Ontario local electricity distributors but encouraged public sector amalgamations Consequently past rationalization or consolidation of the local electricity distributors have been led by Hydro One the provincially owned transmission utility leading some to wonder whether the Ontario electricity sector is heading back to what it was prior to 1998 after payment of the significant costs associated with the processUnder the federal income tax system a municipal corporation is tax exempt if at least 90 of its shares are owned by a municipality Under Ontarios Electricity Act municipally owned electricity distributors instead pay to the Ontario government payments in lieu of taxes a sort of proxy tax for the normal corporate tax paid by commercial enterprisesTwo important additional taxes effectively lock a municipally owned electricity distributor into a public sector ownership orbit A departure tax applies.
