Council Rate Concession for Self-Funded Retirees

In May 2001, the State Government announced a new council rate concession to Self-Funded Retirees for the 2001/2002 financial year and thereafter.

Refer to the eligibility criteria for further information.

A Self-Funded Retiree refers to a ratepayer who is a retiree and is not in receipt of a Commonwealth pension or allowance through Centrelink or Department of Veterans Affairs.

If you did not receive a concession on your council rates notice, are a self-funded retiree, and you met the eligibility criteria at the relevant time, you can obtain an application form from this website or RevenueSA.

Applications should be submitted directly to RevenueSA. The council will not send an amended notice and council rates should be paid in accordance with the due dates shown on the notice. Instead, if eligible for a concession, a cheque for the concession amount will be sent to you from RevenueSA.

RevenueSA will then advise your council of your eligibility so that in future years, the concession will appear as a reduction in the calculation of your council rate amount.

If you have moved residence, to transfer the concession to your new principal place of residence, please use the Change of Residence Advice form or contact RevenueSA on 1300 366 150 to obtain a form.

Telephone:  1300 366 150 between 8.30am and 5.00pm weekdays
