Discounts for businesses
Some businesses are eligible for a discount on their rates and charges. If your business receives a discount, it will be listed on the front of your bill.
How do I know if my business or organisation is eligible for a discount?
You may be eligible for a discount on your charges if you are one of the following:
- non-government school, church or community facility
- charitable organisation
- local government
- non-profit-homes for the aged.
Properties owned by these organisations leased to private tenants are not eligible for the discount.
To qualify for a discount, the entire property must be used exclusively for your use. If a portion of the land is leased, you are not eligible.
