We have received an application for non rateability from the Vietnam Veterans Association NSW Inc. They have been left exclusive use of a small unit in the will of a deceased Veteran until 2036 subject to them paying all outgoings. It is in a commercial complex so is rated as business. The property is used as a type of mens shed for Veterans the only income they have is donations from members.
They have supplied the relevant documents and they are a registered not for profit charity however they don’t own the property. Council previously made a donation of the amount of the rates but due to budget constraints these donations were cancelled a couple of years ago. Any thoughts?
Thanks
