Saskatchewan’s Court of Appeal has rejected an attempt by the City of Prince Albert to revoke the property tax exemption status of a local church, ruling that hosting a bake sale doesn’t classify the church as a commercial entity.
The court rejected the theory that a church hosting a sale or fundraiser would jeopardize its tax-exempt status in the Feb. 3 ruling, saying it is the primary use of the property that dictates its status.
