Porirua City Council to repay Covid-19 wage subsidy
The Porirua City Council is paying back $2.6 million in wage subsidies.
Chief executive Wendy Walker previously said the council applied for the subsidy based on revenue for the month of April, which showed a 44 per cent decline compared to April 2019.
The council did not include rates revenue in its application, as that was recognised as a statutory annual charge under accounting principles. Rates revenue was recorded in full in July each year.
A review, however, found that it did not meet the criteria of having a 30 per cent revenue drop due to Covid-19.
