The Small Business Fees and Charges rebate is not a cash payment but a digital credit of up to $2,000 that businesses can draw down on to offset the cost of eligible NSW and local government fees and charges paid from 1 March 2021. This rebate is currently open and will be available until 30 June 2022.
Examples of such costs include, but are not limited to:
- Food authority licences
- Liquor licences
- Tradesperson licences
- Event Fees
- Outdoor Seating fees
- Council Rates
- Road user tolls for business use – you must include a statement from the corporate E-Toll or Linkt account associated with the business.
- This rebate cannot be used for fines or penalties.
Eligible businesses only need to apply for the rebate once but can submit multiple claims until the full value of $2,000 is reached.

Total Australian wages below the NSW Government 2020-21 payroll tax threshold of $1,200,000.
