Surrender of an unexercised right of interment

If you wish to surrender an unexercised ROI, you must pay a percentage of its current value as an administration fee. This percentage depends on how many years you have owned the ROI.

The table below sets out the level of percentage in relation to the years owned.

This administration fee is not subject to GST.

For example:

The current value of ROI is $10,000

Purchased 10 years previously, administration rate is 18.75%.

Administration fee ($10,000 x 0.1875) is $1,875.

Therefore the refund payment ($10,000 - $1,875) = $8,125.
