Just a bit of a rant here, I notice from the latest property insurance invoice for one of my 2-brm units, that although the actual premium itself has had its usual double digit annual increase (to ~$530), due to the increase in EQC levy from $200 to $300 this plus the other taxes (Fire, GST, Natural Disaster) now come to about $620 so well above the cost of the actual provision of service ie taxation rate > 100%.
Might drop this into conversation next time tenant complains about rent increase (well, its $11pw for insurance and $12pw to the Govt for tax on same...)
What, rental housing shortage, cant think why...
