Rates

The Team from

Rates invoices have been arriving in the mail, if you haven't already received yours it will be coming. Unfortunately not every-one is going to be able to afford them. So did you know that there is a rates rebate that you can apply for?

Unfortunately not every-one is going to be able to afford them. So did you know that there is a rates rebate that you can apply for? A lot of people think you have to be over 65 years old before you can apply but if your income tax is $25,180 or less and live in your own home you may be able to claim the full amount of $630. Exactly how much you get will depend on what your rates bill is, how many children or dependents you have and your income. The rebate is income tested so even if you earn more than this you may qualify for some assistance. If you want to know more pop into your local bureau and talk with the volunteers, we can also tell you about rates remission for first home builders and rates postponement if you are experiencing extreme financial hardship.

Hi there

I am making an effort to raise funds for the Movember foundation you can donate here mobro.co....

I have shaved off my 5 year old beard and discovered my lower face can actually get quite cold.

Joking aside, I know a few people who have suffered from poor mental health, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. I am trying to raise funds to help make a change for people in these situations and make people more aware of their own health - especially the "she will be right" typical kiwi male who often avoids going to the doctor at all cost.

I would really appreciate your donations through the link above.

If you can't afford to donate, that's OK I understand. Times can be pretty tough for some people at the moment. There is other ways you can help though.

Start your own #Movemeber campaign through this link nz.movember.com... or share my "mospace" with your friends and family, maybe even your colleagues.

Thanks for your donations and don't forget to check the link to follow my mustache growth expedition!
