Frequently Asked Questions
Are my rates subject to GST?
No, rates and charges that appear on your rate notice are exempt from GST.
When is my rate notice due to be paid?
The rate notice amount is payable by the 'Due Date' shown on the front of the rate notice. Provided Council receives your payment on or before this date, discount will be allowed. If rates and other charges are not paid by the due date, the discount will be forfeited and the total rates will become overdue and subject to interest penalties.
