(2) The levy payable for a financial year is to be reduced by the pensioner discount amount.
(3) The pensioner discount amount is proportionate to the number of quarterly instalment periods during the financial year in which the liable person is an eligible pensioner.
(4) Only one pensioner discount can be claimed in respect of a parcel of land, even if more than one eligible pensioner is a liable person in respect of the land.
