PRESENTATION TO THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS (SCOA) ON DEVOLUTION OF PROPERTY RATE FUNDS GRANT MAY 2010 MEC ROBIN CARLISLE
PURPOSE To inform SCOA on: • Data trends • Capacity • Under-spending on Property Rates • Reporting
BACKGROUND PGWC took responsibility for payment of Municipal Property Rates accounts as from 01 April 2008. This function previously vested with the National Department of Public Works. During 2008/09 a total of 1881 accounts payable to the value of R184 690 167 were received from municipalities, but only R147 092 538 (Budget of R147 127 000) was paid resulting in a shortfall of R37 563 167
DATA TRENDS The Property Rates Grant is in its 3rd year of Implementation and the data trends will be developed over time. PGWC is currently in the process of acquiring additional sites for health and educational purposes which will result in additional property rates expenditure.
No funding was transferred to create the additional administrative capacity to manage the devolved property rates payments. Currently the function is performed by 2 permanent staff members and 4 contract personnel. CAPACITY
