This is a final reminder for registered Bed-and-Breakfast establishments and Guest Houses with three to five lettable rooms to apply for rebates on property tax. The closing date for applications is 30 September 2024.
Upon approval of a rebates application, the discount will be processed for the full year and will vary between 25% and 75% of the difference between business and residential rates, depending on the number of lettable rooms.
Each application is first sent to Town Planning to determine whether the B&B or Guest House complies with the prescripts and has all the necessary Town Planning approvals. Town Planning will contact guest houses and B&Bs if any non-compliance is found.
Discounts have not yet been processed for those B&B / Guest Houses that have already applied. Rebates will be calculated for the full financial year.
Establishments with one or two rooms are not regarded as ‘Businesses’ and are therefore not levied on business tariffs.
