Background:

This levy is collected to enable the Northam Chamber of Commerce and Industry to provide independent support, promotion, and advocacy for local businesses.
The differential rate on business premises is 10.8322, compared to the residential rate of 10.02 (a difference of 0.8122c in the gross rental value). In 2020/21 the contribution allocated to the Northam Chamber was $127,000.
