Small businesses should apply for rebate, says Tesch
Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch is urging local small businesses to apply for the $1500 rebates offered by the NSW Government "to ensure we get our fair share".
The $1500 rebates cover licences, council rates and registration fees charged by the NSW Government or Central Coast Council.
Ms Tesch said a business could use this for a food authority licence, liquor license, tradesperson licence or a business vehicle registration fee.
The program aimed to help small businesses recovering from Covid-19 pandemic.
Ms Tesch said: "Our local economy has been hit hard by Covid and I strongly encourage any business who may be doing it tough right now to apply for these grants.
"We need to keep supporting our local businesses so they can have the certainty to keep operating and keep hiring more locals.
"For our tradies, corner stores and small businesses, it can mean the difference between keeping the lights on during this gruelling pandemic."
Small businesses with a payroll tax of less than $1.2 million are eligible for the scheme through Service NSW, she said.
