INTRODUCTION

The Fees Act (see Appendix A) received Royal assent in the spring of 2008. This legislation, whichapplies to Part I of the public service, established a transparent process governing fees charged bygovernment departments.

It requires detailed information to be made public on all upcoming fee increases and all new fees at least60 days before implementation by government departments.

The act also specifies that, by January 31st each year, the Minister of Finance must file a documentcontaining such information with the Clerk of the Legislative Assembly. The 2012 document containsdetailed information regarding new fees and fee increases planned by government departments for theupcoming fiscal year of 2012-2013.

The report also includes information such as the legal authority to charge each fee, the current feeamount, the new fee amount, effective date of the change, revenue details, and departmental contactinformation.

The first section in the 2012 report summarizes fee changes and/or new fees approved by the provincialBoard of Management since publication of the 2011 report.

The second section summarizes upcoming fee changes and/or new fees approved by the Board ofManagement for the fiscal year 2012-2013. In keeping with the requirement of 60-day minimum notice tothe public, none of these fees will take effect until at least April 1st, 2012. It is recommended that theeffective dates specified in this report be verified with the respective departments as they may beextended following the publication of this report.

It should be noted that the Fees Act does allow a department to create or increase fees during theupcoming fiscal year. If this occurs, the individual department will file a document with the Clerk of theLegislative Assembly containing the same type of details as are included in this report. The fee change isalso subject to the requirement of a minimum 60-day notice to the public.

If there are any mid-year changes, the details of these single filings will be summarized and published inthe 2013 report on fees. This compilation will maintain accuracy and transparency concerning fees.

The report also includes information about a few fees being decreased or eliminated.

Business Licence Fuel RetailerGasoline and Motive Fuel Tax ActRegulation 82-81, section 24,subsections 21.1(3) and (4)




Comments: Since the late 1990s a fuel retailer licence, once issued, has not required renewal. Toprovide more effective administration, the department is returning to the annual licensing of fuel retailers.The fee for this licence type has not been increased since 1997. New fees, based on current costs, aredesigned to fully recover the cost of issuing and administering these business licences. The cost analysisindicates that additional time and educational material are necessary to establish and educate newaccounts; therefore, initial application fees will be higher than renewal fees.

Change in Annual Revenue: $1,500*

Comments: There is a small number of pari-mutuel operators licensed by the Province. Thedepartment is moving to an annual licence fee to help offset administrative costs of this program. A costanalysis indicates that this program is expensive to administer per licensee, primarily due to the lowvolume of accounts to share the cost. As the set-up and educational requirements for the initialapplication are more extensive than for a licence renewal, an initial application will cost more. The feesset in the schedule below do not recover the cost of the administration of this program; however, to reachfull recovery could jeopardize the industry. Therefore, an implicit subsidy is provided.

* As it is anticipated there will be no new pari-mutuel operators, the revenue estimate is specific to

Proposed Fee: See ScheduleEffective Date: April 1, 2012


Change in Annual Revenue: $245,925Comments: The department is implementing an annual licensing fee for IFTA registrants. The feestructure is based on the number of vehicles operating interjurisdictionally. As IFTA is an internationalagreement, the Province is bound to carry out certain administrative requirements, which increase thetotal cost of administration. However, as there has been no previous registration fee charged, fullrecovery of costs through registration fees could represent a major financial burden to carriers. Theregistration fees set in the schedule below do not recover the full cost of the administration of thisprogram; therefore, an implicit subsidy will be provided.

Decal fees have not been increased since the Province joined IFTA in 1996. The new decal fee willensure full recovery of this cost.

Comments: This fee provides partial recovery of administrative costs associated with conducting a taxsale of a property due to non-payment of taxes. By policy, the department is charging an administrativefee of $125 per account. The fee will be prescribed in the regulations; however, it does not recover the fulladministrative cost of conducting a tax sale. Passing on the full cost to each delinquent property ownercould cause them further hardship and make the resolution of the debt prior to the tax sale more difficultfor the property owner.
