Late payments

If you are late paying your taxes, a penalty charge of 1.25 percent will be added on the first business day of each month until we receive the payment. Payments are applied first towards the outstanding interest and then to the oldest outstanding taxes.

If you are sending a cheque, payment is considered to be made on the date it is received and posted in the Finance department, not on the date it is mailed.

If you are paying at a bank, through online or telephone banking, or using the third party credit option, payment is considered made on the date the bank tells us you paid.
