    Hi Cherie,

    Up until this year we provided a discounted interest rate on overdue rates for pensioners who defer their rates against their estate. From this year however it is the maximum interest rate which applies.

    Our previous discounted interest rate was based on a calculation our Treasury Accountant did using our weighted average rate of return earned on surplus cash invested – last year it was 2.37%.

    Hope this assists.
