Hi Rob,
I have a question and I could be off the track so feel free to put me in my place if I am.
All along Treasury have pushed the line that collecting via rates is a fairer way of collecting the levy AND that in the long run those currently paying the levy through their insurance will be about $47 better off per annum.
I have done a quick calc based on my own property and I find that my levy is in fact increasing on what I paid for the 2016/2017 levy.
Has anyone else done the same to confirm?
If I am a one off then fine. But if I am not, how are we now to explain to the same ratepayers who we have previously been told that they will be better off that in fact they are not.
Dave
