1. The assessment, classification or liability for taxes of the land as shown on the assessment roll returned for the 2012 taxation year, adjusted for any changes in value for assessment purposes and any changes in classification or liability for taxes, if the changes would affect the assessment of the land on the assessment roll for the 2013, 2014 or 2015 taxation year.

2. The assessment of the land for the taxation year, as adjusted under section 19.1 of the Act.

(2) For the purposes of paragraph 1 of subsection (1), the assessment of the land is adjusted for only those changes in value for assessment purposes that are not the result of a general reassessment, after any further changes required as a result of a reconsideration under section 39.1 of the Act or an appeal under section 40 of the Act.

3. (1) Subsection 48 (1) of the Regulation is amended by striking out “the 2009 and subsequent taxation years” at the end and substituting “the 2009, 2010 and 2011 taxation years”.

(4) Despite subsection (3), the eligible increase in respect of the land for the 2009, 2010 and 2011 taxation years is the amount by which the amount of “A” in subsection (3) exceeds the amount of “B” in subsection (3), as adjusted for the purposes of paragraph 1 of subsection 47 (1), if,

(4) Clause 48 (4) (a) of the Regulation is amended by striking out “the amount described as “A”” at the beginning and substituting “the amount of “A””.

(5) Section 48 of the Regulation is amended by adding the following subsections:

(4.1) Despite subsections (3) and (4), the eligible increase in respect of the land for the 2009, 2010 and 2011 taxation years is the amount by which the amount of “A” in subsection (3) exceeds the amount of “B” in subsection (3) as adjusted under subsection (4) to reflect a change to the assessment of the land in respect of the 2008 taxation year that results or could result in an application under subsection 357 (1), 358 (1) or 359 (1) of the Municipal Act, 2001

or subsection 323 (1), 325 (1) or 326 (1) of the City of Toronto Act, 2006,

(b) if an assessment is made under subsection 32 (1.1) , (2), (3) or (4), section 33 or subsection 34 (1) or (2) of the Act to reflect that change in the assessment for the 2009, 2010 or 2011 taxation year, before any adjustment under section 19.1 of the Act.

where,

  “A” is the assessment of the land that would be shown on the assessment roll for the 2009 taxation year if subsection 19.1 (3) of the Act did not apply, plus the amount of the assessment made in respect of the year under section 33 of the Act, and
