Late payment charges

Late payments

To avoid late payment charges, payments must reach our office by the due date. A late payment charge of 1.25% per month will be calculated on the outstanding tax balance on the first day of the month following the tax due date. A further 1.25% will be added on the first day of each subsequent month the balance remains outstanding. For example: Your tax instalment of $1,000 is due June 30. A penalty of $12.50 is applied to the tax account on July 1st if payment is not received by the end of the business day on June 30.

If payment is made via Internet/Telephone Banking please make payment three business days in advance of the due date to ensure payment reaches the Town prior to or on the due date.

The calculation of late payment charges is based on simple interest, not compounding interest. Late payment charges cannot be waived once charged unless there is an administrative error or overcharge.

Returned payments

It is the taxpayer's responsibility to ensure that all cheques are completed properly. Any dishonoured payments will result in a charge of $45.00 being added to your tax account.
