Print Page

To avoid penalties, you must pay your instalments in full by the following due dates:

1 September first instalment due
1 December second instalment due
1 March third instalment due
1 June fourth instalment due

How Rates are Billed

A rating year begins on 1 July and ends on 30 June. The rating year is divided into four equal instalments, each invoiced separately.

With your first invoice for the year, you will receive a ‘Rates Assessment Notice’. It tells you the total amount you will pay for the entire year to both Wellington City and Greater Wellington Regional Councils.

Throughout the year, you will receive four rates invoices, one every three months. They arrive about one month before the due date and must be paid in full and on time.

Penalties

A 10% penalty will be added to any amount of the current instalment remaining unpaid after the due date.

An additional charge of 10% will be added on 1 October and 1 April of each year to any unpaid rates from previous years.
