What this pack actually checks

• Property rates against the published annexure, including VAT on a separately itemised rates line.
• Stepped water and the sanitation cap, compared to the City’s published book.
• Home User electricity where that class is printed on the account.
• National rules: VAT on property rates, duplicates, interest on amounts that were never due.

Please read

• Attach the original municipal PDFs. Photographs and screenshots are not accepted.
• Confirm the current Budget Annexure on the City’s website before you lodge a notice.
• This is not legal advice. The notice is a draft. A spike in use is listed for investigation — it is not treated as a refund due.
