Rates rebates
1 July 2008 – 30 June 2009

The income threshold for rates rebate is $21,180 and the maximum allowable rebate is $530.

Eligibility for a rates rebate is determined by:

  • the ratepayer's income for the previous tax year (year ended 31 March 2008)
  • the amount of rates (both Wanganui District Council & Horizons Regional Council)
  • the number of dependents

To assist you with your application, please bring in the following:

  • evidence of all gross income for the tax year ended 31 March 2008 (this includes income from interest)
  • your Wanganui District Council rates assessment for 2008/09
  • your Horizons Regional Council rates assessment for 2008/09

Ratepayers need to apply to the Wanganui District Council for a rates rebate. Those who are eligible will then either have their rates reduced by the amount of the rebate, or receive a refund if the rates have been paid in full for the year. The Department of Internal Affairs reimburses the Council from Crown funds.
