Penalties for paying late
“A 10% penalty will be applied on the fifth business day following these three dates on any unpaid portion of the current instalment.” — Thames-Coromandel District Council's own wording.
10% applied on the 5th business day after each of the three instalment due dates (15 Oct, 15 Feb, 15 May) — a fixed business-day offset, not a calendar-day one like Far North's 7-day gap or Kaipara's 1-day gap
Dog registration
“Payment is required by 31 July. If you do not pay your registration fees by the due date, a penalty fee will be added.” “Penalty fees shall be charged at an additional 50% of annual dog registrations that remain unpaid as at 1 August of each year.” “Owners of unregistered dogs are liable for a $300 instant fine.” (from TCDC's own Frequently Asked Questions - Dogs page and the 'Penalties'/'Cost of registration' accordions on its Register Your Dog page).
