City Council to get less from petrol tax
i' New laws on petroleum tax mean less money for the Christchurch City Council but more for the Canterbury United Council from April next year.. The Local Government Amendment Act 1987, introduced on July 11, includes united councils in the distribution of the revenue from the tax. In Canterbury that adds the Canterbury United Council to 11 local authorities who. receive money from the tax. What councils get is determined by the ratio of rates they levy.
