English term

rate-paying lessees

Non-PRO English Other Law (general) Information letter
The whole sentence:
All owners, occupiers and rate-paying lessees of all rateable property within the City of Sydney Local
Government Area have right to enroll as non-residential voters.

This is specifically an Australian context.

Does "Rate" here means tax?

Thank you!

Oct 27, 2015 10:53: dkfmmuc changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): Yvonne Gallagher, AllegroTrans, dkfmmuc

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Tax paying lessees

Peer comment(s):

disagree AllegroTrans : "Council/government" is too vague; both raise different kinds of tax and asker needs an explanation// easy: rates are paid to a local authority, taxes (e.g. income tax) are paid to the government

Are you the asker's agent/solicitor? I need an explanation.
neutral dkfmmuc : Not perfect.
