Apply for your pensioners rebate
Pensioners are entitled to an age / pensioner assessment rate reduction if they are 60 years or older
Have you turned 60 in the last year or are you currently 60 years and older and have not applied yet for the pensioner assessment rates deduction?
Pensioners must be reminded that they are entitled to an age/pensioner assessment rate reduction if they are 60 years or older and if they are the registered owner of the property within the following categories of properties:
*Residential
*Farm properties used for residential purposes
*Smallholding used for residential purposes
To qualify you must be 60 years or older upon application, provided that where couples are married in community or property and the property is registered in both names, the age of the eldest will be the qualifying factor.
Please note that you must reside permanently on the property concerned which consists of one dwelling only and no part thereof is sub-let.
You are entitled to this and I urge all pensioners to make use of this benefit.
You can mail me at idberg@telkomsa.net for an application form or you can get a copy at the rates hall
