Good morning Revenue Professionals Team,

We are still awaiting payment for the Q1 and Q2 additional rural properties invoiced in December 2020 for $125,332.35.

Has anyone heard any more about the additional rates relief announced on 26 July 2021? We have not been contacted by anyone.

Thanks
Pete

Hi Lee,

We are in the same situation. When I contacted our Service NSW contact he said he wasn’t handling this matter anymore and had forwarded my emails to the person now handling things and that they would contact me. I have heard nothing.

Regards
Pete

Hi Neil,

We do the same as you and cancel when the subdivision is registered.

Good morning Neil,

I am not sure of the history as to why but here at Shoalhaven we do not use titles. We thought about starting to use them when we implemented TechOne but in the end decided to leave it as is.

Hello fellow Revenue Professionals,

We advised our auditor that our system could not extract the information in the format required and sent them samples of what we could provide which over several files contained all the information they required. Their response is copied below. This response was received on Tuesday 11 August.

The Central group advised that they need all the information to be included in the report for efficiency in centralised testing.

4 An excel sheet (refer to tab: Detailed spreadsheet of claims) listing in columns:
– Pensioner Name
– Pensioner ID number
– Property address where concession claimed
– Property ID number – Annual Ordinary rates for the year for the property
– Amount written-off for ordinary rates
– Amount written-off for water rates
– Amount written-off for sewerage rates
– Total amount written-off
– Period of claim (from and to)
– Pensioner matched to Centrelink report [Yes / No].

* The details for each pensioner should be entered into rows and a separate line used for each pensioner for each year of their claim.
* The total of that spreadsheet must equal the Application for Pensioner Concession Subsidy, the amount noted on the General Managers Certificate and the documents supporting the amount written-off by the delegated officer or Council resolution. Each pensioner must be validated by the Council as a valid pensioner, if the pensioner is not validated by the Centrelink report, other evidence must be provided to audit for each of those pensioners

This may require manual preparation of the report. Is there a way to generate multiple reports using different reporting parameters but all containing the Pensioner ID number? The Pensioner ID number can then be used as common reference to combine the reports.

Shoalhaven is applying a 3.4% increase which includes part of our SRV but it is still on display.

Good morning all,

As per Lee’s post of 23 March, has anyone received the ServiceNSW payment for the 3rd and 4th instalments?

Thanks
Pete

Hi Lee,

Not yet, I emailed our contact at ServiceNSW this morning asking for an update and I have had no response as yet.

Regards
Pete

Hi Lee,

I will email you directly with the action we have taken.

Good morning,

We have been asked to provide rating information to ServiceNSW and I would like to discuss this request with other Bushfire Affected councils. I am concerned about some of the information they are requesting. Would you please contact me on 4429 3368 or peter.timmins@shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au.

Thanks
Pete

Hi Tracey,

Would you be able to email me the request form that you emailed Lisa yesterday? We will have some new staff shortly and may be interested in on-site training and like Lisa, I’d like to try and keep costs down for travel and accommodation where possible due to numbers.

Thanks
Pete

Here is the response that I received from NSW Treasury – That the date of their actual media campaign launch has not been confirmed yet. The Notices of Valuation will have with them a newsletter and factsheet, both of which, will explain that these values will be used for the ESPL and for rating from 1 July 2017.
