Rates Rebate Scheme - Reminder

Applications close 30 June 2018.

The Rates Rebate Scheme benefits low income ratepayers with their rates account.  The amount of rate rebate depends on a combination of your income, the amount of rates you are charged and the number of dependents you have.

For example, the maximum rates rebate available to a legal ratepayer for the property that was their home on 1 July 2017 is $620.00. Different levels of rates rebates remain available on household earnings from a minimum of $24,790 per annum.

Application for the 2017/18 rating year close 30 June 2018.  You cannot apply for previous year rebates.
