Provincial Tax Credit Program

A provincial tax credit may be applied to the provincial portion of property tax on non-commercial property.  Currently, the provincial tax credit is $0.50 per $100 of taxable valuable assessment.

Who is eligible?

You may qualify for the provincial tax credit if you:

• are the sole owner of a property and reside in PEI for 183 consecutive days or more each taxation year (January 1 to December 31); or
• co-own a property and 50 per cent or more of the owners reside in PEI for 183 consecutive days or more each taxation year defined as January 1 to December 31.

Detailed information on provincial tax credit eligibility can be found in Section 4 and 5 of the Real Property Tax Act and Section 24 of the Real Property Tax Act Regulations.

How do I apply?

If you do not currently receive a credit under the provincial tax credit program and wish to apply, you must complete a Request for Provincial Tax Credit form and return it to Taxation and Property Records as directed on the form.
