The City of Corner Brook's 2022 budget maintains a tax break for tourism operators and levies a slight increase for larger businesses. In tabling the $35-million budget, Pender said, the city aimed to ensure residents get the services they need "without going overboard." Easing the pandemic burden was also the city's justification for maintaining a 10 per cent tax break for 100 businesses in the tourism sector. "Tourism is a strategic priority for the city, and that's why we're continuing the discounted rate," Butt said.
