THE FORMULA TO WORK OUT YOUR INDICATIVE MONTHLY RATES BILL IS:

Market value of property (get the valuation from the draft Valuation Roll) -R150 000 X R0,004 cents (the indicative Rate in the Rand for DOMESTIC PROPERTIES - excluding Sectional Title properties) = ANNUAL RATES PAYABLE. Divide this by 12  = and you will get your indicative monthly rates for the next year.
