16. For a municipality that had revenues from the application of section 222 of the Act for the fiscal year preceding the year of reference, its standardized property value per inhabitant must be taken into consideration for the purpose of establishing the median, despite section 15, only if its financial report for that preceding fiscal year and its summary for the reference year are received by the Minister before 1 September of the year of reference.
For those purposes only, that date replaces 1 May of the current fiscal year that is referred to in the third paragraph of section 8. The median established is not changed even if, because of an alteration referred to in that paragraph of which the Minister is seized after 31 August of the year of reference and before 1 May of the current fiscal year, any of the values taken into consideration is altered subsequently.
