The practice costs Cape Town taxpayers millions of rands in maintenance on top of usual taxes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The City is also clamping down on illegal dumping and has launched a reward system for reporting tip-offs about illegal dumping activity to their 24-hour toll-free number (0800 110077). Those convicted of illegal dumping could be fined up to R5 000, have their vehicle impounded, or face a two-year prison sentence. In addition, for every report that leads to a fine and conviction, the City is offering a reward from R1 000 up to R5 000, depending on the offence.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Read more<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u200b\u200bLegislation requires municipalities to undertake a General Valuation (GV) every four years. The City of Cape Town initiated this process last year and the GV Roll will be ready for property owners in the metro to inspect from 21 February 2023. Objections must be submitted by no later than 30 April 2023. The GV determines what contributions property owners make to the rates account. Rates are used for shared services such as fire services, libraries, recreational areas and clinics. New rates will be implemented from 1 July 2023.\u00a0 <\/p>\n Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis has welcomed the new incentives for households and businesses to install solar generation, as announced in Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana\u2019s national budget today. From 1 March 2023, businesses will be able to reduce their taxable income by 125 per cent of the cost of an investment in renewables. Changes to the Bounce Back Loan Guarantee Scheme will guarantee solar-related loans for small and medium enterprises. A new tax rebate incentive will also help individuals recover 25% of the cost of installing rooftop solar panels in the 23\/24 tax year up to a maximum of R15 000.<\/p>\n Read more<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The invasive Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer beetle (PSHB) has been spreading steadily, with the latest infestations confirmed in Observatory along the Liesbeek River, and Kenilworth.
