Rates Rebates Scheme |
|
The rate rebate scheme provides a subsidy to low income home owners and ratepayers on the cost of their rates. The scheme was established by the Rates Rebate Act 1973 and has operated over the past 22 years. The eligibility thresholds were reviewed effective from 1 July 2006 and now provide assistance to many more households. A rebate is required to be claimed during the rate year for which it is payable, therefore claims cannot be made for past rate years.
