What is Rates smoothing?
Rates smoothing makes it easier to manage your rates bill. It works by spreading your rates payments into smaller, more manageable payments.
Rates smoothing is paid by direct debit, from a cheque or savings account, on a weekly, fortnightly or four weekly basis.
Interest of 5.5% is incurred when paying by rates smoothing.
Payments
Decide whether you wish to pay weekly, fortnightly or four weekly payments. Your 2019-2020 annual rate notice shows the calculated payments.
