Lorsque des achats sont effectués dans des commerces de Brossard et à l’extérieur de Brossard, le remboursement est calculé en appliquant d’abord le 50 % sur le montant des achats à Brossard.
Si la somme obtenue est inférieure au montant maximal accordé pour les achats hors Brossard (200 $), le solde restant peut être appliqué aux achats hors Brossard, jusqu’à concurrence de 200 $. Les montants plafonds ne sont pas cumulables et le remboursement total ne peut en aucun cas dépasser 300 $.
Exemple 1 — Produits admissibles d’une valeur totale de 500 $
Total des achats à Brossard : 200 $
Total des achats à l’extérieur de Brossard : 300 $
Le remboursement est calculé comme suit :
- 50 % de 200 $ (achat à Brossard) = 100 $
- Il reste 100 $ avant d’atteindre le plafond de 200 $. Ce solde est appliqué à l’achat effectué à l’extérieur de Brossard (50 % de 300 $ = 150 $, mais limité au solde disponible de 100 $).
- Remboursement total : 200 $
Exemple 2 — Produits admissibles d’une valeur totale de 600 $
Total des achats à Brossard : 500 $
Total des achats à l’extérieur de Brossard : 100 $
Le remboursement est calculé comme suit :
- 50 % de 500 $ (achat à Brossard) = 250 $
- Ce montant dépasse déjà le plafond de 200 $ applicable aux achats effectués à l’extérieur de Brossard. Aucun remboursement supplémentaire ne peut donc être accordé pour le deuxième produit.
- Remboursement total : 250 $
Did you know?
In Quebec, gardening accounts for 30% of drinking water consumption. Overconsumption of drinking water has a number of economic and environmental consequences, including :
- lowering the water table;
- the deterioration of rivers and lakes;
- rising wastewater treatment costs.
To combat these negative impacts, Ville de Brossard was one of the first cities in Quebec to install residential water meters. It has also adopted a by-law to restrict the domestic consumption of drinking water through garden hoses on its territory.
