NATIONAL NEWS - The City of Joburg (CoJ) has approved a raft of rates relief measures totalling nearly half a billion rand, for residential and multi-purpose residential properties as well as business properties impacted by the lockdown from March 26.
The rebates will be implemented from August but will be retrospective and will be based on the 2019/2020 tariffs that were in place for the three-month period during which lockdown measures were at their most severe.
This comes as the city admits that collection levels have “shown a steep decline” due to measures put in place to slow the spread of Covid-19.
