The minimum balance requirement will apply separately to each account that a Customer holds. Aggregation of balances will not be allowed. If an account balance falls below the minimum threshold the account will revert to paying DIRT at the prevailing rate of tax. In the event that the account balance subsequently rises above the minimum threshold, the account holder will have to re-apply for exemption and provide fresh confirmation of residential status.
