or Supplementary Valuation (SV), as the case may be, is implemented. Applications
made when a new GV is implemented must be received by the City by 31 August
of the financial year when the GV will be implemented. Applications made when a
SV is implemented, must be received by the City by the last day of the third month

2. CONSUMPTIVE TARIFFS AND CHARGES
Water, Sanitation, Electricity and Solid Waste Management attracts VAT at 14%
2.1WATER
Three sets of Water tariffs are proposed (10% Reduction tariff, 20% Reduction tariff
and 30% Reduction tariff). Each tariff is linked to the level of water reduction imposed.
Due to the 10% Reduction tariff being incorporated into the Water By-law as the norm
it will be the applicable tariff, but may be revisited at a later stage should further
restrictions become necessary.
An increase of 11% is proposed for consumptive water tariffs.

3.1 A complete copy of all Miscellaneous Tariffs, Fees and Charges are available for
inspection at the abovementioned Municipal Offices (see Annexure 6 of draft
Budget Document).
3.2 All Miscellaneous tariffs include VAT.
3.3 Fines, Penalties, Refundable Deposits, Housing and Integrated Rapid Transit are
exempt from VAT.
3.4 VAT is calculated at 14% in terms of the Value Added Tax Act No. 89 of 1991.
Residential Tariffs: Overall revenue increase from the group is 10.82%,
but individual customers will likely see different values based on actual
consumption. The difference between the average and the actual increase arises
from the recovery of the shortfall of revenue from the Lifeline Block 1 rate.
A consumer receiving 450kWh per month will see the same percentage
increase irrespective of which tariff they are on, meaning there is no change to
the level of subsidy received by these consumers on the Lifeline tariff.
Free Basic Electricity: Lifeline tariff customers receiving less than 250kWh per month
will receive a free basic supply of 60kWh, with those receiving between 250kWh and
450kWh per month receiving a free basic supply of 25kWh per month.
The Residential SSEG tariff gains a second block aligned to the Domestic Tariff
Block 2 to prevent customers installing exceptionally small generators and
receiving a large reduction in account without actually generating any electricity.
Small Power User 1 with Off Peak combination will be restricted to existing
customers only from 1 July 2012. The Off Peak components also increase by an
above average amount as a step in the phasing out of this tariff.
Small Power User 1 tariff receives a slight structural adjustment in line with the
Cost of Supply study outcomes.
Time of Use tariffs restructured to ensure the Medium Voltage tariff at minimum
has parity with Eskom Megaflex.
Commercial tariffs see a slightly above average increase as a result of the
recovery of the subsidy provided for the Atlantis TOU tariff.
