DEVOLUTION OF RATES AND TAXES Gauteng Province State of Readiness Portfolio Committee Presentation Mr. Gilberto Martins DDG: Public Works

Agenda: 1. Background 2. Implementation-Preparation 3. Provincial State of Readiness 4. Implications of Devolution of Rates and Taxes on the Municipal Rates Act and GIAMA 5. Recommendations

1. Background The aim: for Provinces to take accountability of payment of rates and taxes in relation to provincially owned properties. Where it started  The NPW devolved the function of payment for rates and taxes in line with the 1997 National Public Works White Paper and the Government Immovable Asset Management (no. 19 of 2007).  The devolution of rates was meant to initially commence during the 2005/6 financial year.

1. Background The aim: for Provinces to take accountability of payment of rates and taxes in relation to provincially owned properties. Where it started  Due to lack of readiness of Provinces, this was later deferred to 2007/2008 financial year.

1. Background…cont  Payment of all provincial municipal accounts rates and taxes accounts on all Provincially owned properties.  On 8th November 2005, Provincial Treasury provided DPTRW with a schedule of properties to verify in line with its respective asset register.  DPRTW completed this task and communicated to Provincial Treasury all findings/verification by end of 2007.

1. Background…cont  Efficiently manage the property budget from Treasury in line with the PFMA and Treasury Regulations Act.  To fully function independently of National Public Works in payment of Rates and Taxes and take full accountability of the management of the asset register within Provinces.

2. Implementation - Preparation What have we done  Engaged all relevant 12 municipalities with the view of assessing all accounts to be paid for.  The Province has further assessed and verified all properties provided by both Treasury and National Public Works.

2. Implementation - Preparation What have we done With the help of municipalities, we’ve identified all accounts to be paid through a valuation roll exercise determination: A. Tshwane Metropolitan: Valuation Roll - 100% completed B. City of Joburg Metropolitan: Valuation Roll - 80% completed C. Ekurhuleni Metropolitan: Valuation Roll - 73% completed

3. Provincial State of Readiness  We’ve captured payments amounting to R10 million.  We’ve trained officials to address all property rates payment.  We’re constantly in communication with the National Public Works iE-Works technical team for further training.

4.Implications of Devolution of Rates and Taxes on the Municipal Rates Act and GIAMA  The Province expects a shortage of funds ( approximately R 97, 470, 796) due to the impact of the Municipal Rates Act which saw a significant increase in property values.  Calculation of rates and taxes has now been revised to factor both the land an improvements.  The current allocations are based on the historical calculation prior to the introduction of the Municipal Rates of Act.  GIAMA requires that all values of on the asset register reflect both municipal values as well as market values.

4.Challenges  An allocated budget of R 155, 265, was allocated from Treasury.  The allocated budget would come in four tranches of quarter amounts, i.e. R 38, 816, granted per quarter (as stated in the GIAMA Technical Committee held on 20/21 August Durban).  The function was not devolved with consideration of personnel implications.  Some accounts were devolved with historical arrears, Province has stated to National Public Works that we will only settle current accounts.
