Hurry – don’t miss out on the 2021/22 Rates Rebate. Applications close 30 June.

Did you know if you are on joint superannuation you could be eligible for a rates rebate of up to $665.00 on your rates? Even if you’re not getting NZ Super, if your rates and joint gross income are below the threshold, you could be eligible:

For example, if your rates are $2500, and your joint (gross) income is under $38,900 (with no dependents), you would qualify for a rebate of up to $665 a year.

For a rebate on rates at $3000, your joint (Gross) income should be under $41,500.

• Rates $3500 – Joint (Gross) income under $44,300
• Rates $4000 – Joint (Gross) income under $46,900
• Rates $4500 – Joint (Gross) income under $49,600

To be eligible, you need to a legal ratepayer of the property (residential only), living at the property on 1 July 2021 and applying between 1 July 2021 and 30 June 2022.
