What are the Benefits and Penalties?

Benefits

There are several benefits that Voluntary Contributors can reap by contributing to the NHT.  The main benefit is the accessing of housing benefits where persons would be eligible for loans to assist in building, buying, repairing or improving homes.

In addition to housing benefits, Contributors are entitled to access a refund (with interest) on payments made to the Trust.  More information on this benefit is available in our Contributions Refunds section.

Voluntary Contributors may also access Tax Compliance Certification.

Penalties

Failure to make contributions payment will make persons ineligible to apply for either housing benefit loans or contributions refunds.
