ALBERTA TOURISM LEVY ACT INFORMATION CIRCULAR:
MAIL STRIKE CONTINGENCY PLAN

This Information Circular sets out the procedures to follow if a strike or other disruption of postal services occurs.

  1. If there is a total mail service disruption, declared by the Minister of Alberta Government Services to be an emergency mail situation, Tax and Revenue Administration (TRA) has special measures in place to minimize the inconvenience to operators of hotel, motel and other accommodation establishments. Correspondence, including returns, may be taken to the nearest Alberta Government building, ATB Financial office, or other designated provincial business location for transfer by courier.

  2. TRA will send cheques and any vital information to the ATB Financial location selected by the operator for pick-up. Alternatively, documents can be couriered at the operators' own expense.

  3. Funds may also be forwarded by wire transfer. For information on wire transfers, contact TRA at (780) 427-3044. For Alberta toll free, call 310-0000 then enter (780) 427-3044.

  4. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to permit the delivery of payments and returns on or before the due date.
