Hi Emma,
The latest OLG Circular states:
“ The collection of the first quarter rates instalment (whether a single or quarterly instalment) is due by 30 September 2020.”
The new regulation states:
Cl 413I Payment of rates and annual charges
(1) Despite section 562(3) of the Act, an instalment (whether a single instalment or a quarterly instalment) of annual rates and charges that would have been payable by 31 August 2020 is instead payable by 30 September 2020.
Both say 30 September 2020 is the due date – I can’t see how you can deceive the ratepayer by putting anything other than 30 September 2020 on the notice.
City of Newcastle are proceeding with 30 September 2020.
Hope this helps.
Mick
