Time Major Opposes Council Tax Rule Changes
City Treasurer Denniston relies on Major A M Brown's opinion that tax discounts cannot be given after March 31. He plans to accept March payments with a 5 percent abatement if paid by March, while late payments face no discount. Officials note Councils cannot alter the tax act, leaving late-payers without March abatement unless paid in time.

Opinion on tax abatement and receipt dating
The speaker cannot advise approving a 5 percent abatement for taxes paid in April or dating receipts to March 31. The act’s language determines legality, not popular favor. Tax discounts may only apply to taxes paid in March, and April payments cannot be discounted.
