Hi all
Wondering what is correct practice for payee details on receipts if the rates are paid at the Council office by someone other than the owner?
Do you leave the name and postal address on the receipt as the owner of the property or do you change it to the details of the person who is making the payment?
Practice here has for many years been to leave the owner’s details on the receipt and not change to the payee who is not the owner – I believe this was done for possessory title reasons so as not to show someone other than the owner as having made the payment.
Issue is we are then giving the owner’s details to the payee who is not the owner.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
