The total general funds required by Council to deliver its services (before taking the Quayside Holdings Limited (QHL) dividend into account) is $85 million. The QHL dividend of $45 million is then used to reduce the total general rates ($85 million) to arrive at a net general rate charge of $40 million. Your portion of this charge is shown on your invoice, as is your portion of the dividend benefit (which is shown in the box on the front page of the invoice).
