Budget 2025 Rates Rebate
New eligibility rules for the rates rebate will help nearly 66,000 more SuperGold Cardholders with their living costs.
Announced in the 2025 budget on 22 May, the income threshold for the maximum rates rebate for SuperGold Cardholders will be lifted from $31,510 to $45,000. The maximum rebate for the scheme will also increase to $805 from $790.
The new eligibility means every SuperGold cardholder earning only NZ Superannuation paying average council rates will be eligible for the full rebate. Cardholders with total income of more than $45,000 may also be entitled to a smaller rebate.
Ratepayers can apply for the new maximum rebate and thresholds after 1 July 2025. Application forms will be available from your local council or can be downloaded from the New Zealand Government website and then submitted to your local council from 1 July 2025.
