GOOD NEWS PREMIUMS REDUCED FIRE SERVICES LEVY REMOVED FROM POLICIES
In most cases insurance premiums will now be reduced with the removal of the fire services levy from all insurance policies. As described by the State Revenue Office of Victoria and on the Fire Services Property Levy website, the new Fire Services Property Levy is now incorporated into Victorian property owners’ council rates and is based on a fixed charge and a variable charge based on the property’s capital improved value.
