When you look at the Rates Rebate Act 1973, there are some extra rules that help with the change to the new law. These rules are called transitional, savings, and related provisions. They are part of a schedule that has more information about the act.
If you were getting a rebate for a rating year that ended before 1 July 2025, you will still get that rebate. The amount of the rebate will be worked out as if the new law, the Rates Rebate Amendment Act 2025, did not exist. This means that the new law will not affect the rebates for those years.
You can find more information about these rules in the Rates Rebate Amendment Act 2025, which is connected to section 2A of the Rates Rebate Act 1973.
