May 31 deadline for lodging proposals to object to rateable values
******************************************************************
The new rateable values can be viewed on the RVD's Property Information Online website by May 31.
A member of the public can lodge a proposal through the following channels without the need to engage an agent:
(1) submit an electronic form (Form e-R20A) on the RVD's website; or
(2) submit a completed Form R20A to the RVD in person or by post. Form R20A is available on the RVD's website, at the RVD's office or the Home Affairs Department's Home Affairs Enquiry Centres.
Proposals received after May 31 or submitted by other means will not be accepted.
A spokesman for the RVD said, "The RVD will review all proposals carefully in accordance with the relevant ordinances. Whether or not a proposal is lodged through an agent has no bearing on the review."
Rates and Government rent must be paid by the last day for payment shown on the demands, whether or not a proposal has been lodged. Proposers will be informed of the RVD's decisions before December 1. Any changes in rateable values resulting from such decisions will date back to April 1 this year, and adjustments will be made in subsequent demands.
