Demand notes for rates and government rent for July to September have been issued. Payments should be made by July 31.

The demand notes reflect the rates concession for this quarter, subject to a ceiling of $1,500 and $5,000 for each rateable domestic and non-domestic tenement respectively. Any unused portion of the concession in this quarter will not be used to offset the outstanding rates in any other quarter.

The concession does not apply to payment of government rent.

A 5% surcharge will be imposed for late payment. If the amount, including the 5% surcharge, remains unpaid six months after the payment deadline, a further surcharge of 10% will be levied.

Those who have not received demand notes should call 2152 0111.
