Hi All

I was wanting to know how other councils deal with a pensioner rebate request with only 1 eligible pensioner when 2 or more people own the property? Do you give the full 100% or only the 50% (or their share of the property)?

Thanks
Alisha

Hi Alisha

($250 (+ 87.50 if water as well) times pensioners percentage of ownership as per notice of sale/cert of title) times percentage of full proportionate quarters remaining. If other owners don’t meet criteria for eligible pensioner or jointly eligible occupier.

Thanks Robert,
Do you have a separate pension policy at Ryde?

THanks

Hi Alisha

We address pensioners in our Revenue Policy which forms part of our Delivery Program & Operational Plan.

Its on page 97.

Hi

we would only give a % based on ownership. Also just on this we have an application where the wife owns the property single ownership, the husband has a gold card TPI but she isn’t mentioned on the card, He also has a PCC but she isn’t on that either. She works full time. Would you grant a rebate?

thanks

Hi Lee

If the husband is not an owner, he is not liable for rates and charges as per section 560 and does not fall under the definition of a jointly eligible occupier. I would not grant a rebate.

If both he and his wife were owners I would grant a full rebate.

Hope this helps.

Robert
