Registration tax: Bruno Marchand can go it alone

While Quebec City is still evaluating the possibility of a new tax on registration, Mayor Bruno Marchand is indicating he could go ahead even if elected officials of the Quebec Metropolitan Community (CMQ) don't follow through.

If Quebec City wants to move forward with this tax for 2025, it must make a request to the Société d'Assurance Automobile du Québec (SAAQ) by May.

A notice of intent was sent to the state-owned company last week, but the Quebec mayor reiterated that the decision is not final. No decision has been made, we are working with the metropolitan community to see what the views of other mayors are.

If the City of Lewes also challenged the SAAQ last week, it looks like it will be difficult to reach a consensus on the CMQ between now and May.
