Toronto unveils revamped plan to ease vacant-home tax declarations

Toronto is looking to revamp how it runs its vacant-home tax after a debacle last year that saw thousands of residents incorrectly told to pay big fines.On Tuesday, city staff unveiled details of what it said was an improved and more user-friendly program. If approved by council, the plan is to have multiple direct mailings, information in more languages and advertising that can be ramped up if public participation is seen as lagging.
