Rating exemptions
Exemptions and concessions are granted on facts that change: an owner stops being a charity, a body winds up, a church sells a hall. Nobody tells the rates team.
What it finds
- Exempt properties whose owner is no longer a registered charity
- Owners whose ABN has been cancelled
- Exemptions where the evidence and the ground it was granted on no longer line up
