Rates Allowance For Lanlords

Picture
If you're a landlord or agent, you may be eligible for an allowance on your rate bills. 

If you are responsible for paying rates on one or more rental properties, you may be entitled to a 12.5 per cent allowance in rates, regardless of the capital value of your properties. 

To qualify, you must meet the following criteria:
  • have a portfolio of one or more properties that you own and rent to tenants
  • have accepted rates liability for all properties within the portfolio
  • have an Agent Agreement form signed and witnessed by another person of 18 years of age or over - this agreement will remain in force until the 31 March in any year or until the property is sold
  • pay the full discounted amount by 28 September each year
Your residential address and any personal holiday homes/second homes you may own cannot be included on the Agent schedule, as these properties are not eligible for the 12.5 per cent discount. This also applies to any business properties which you or your company operate from.
