Advice to Property Owners on Rates and/or Government Rent Liability

The Rating and Valuation Department (“RVD”) has issued an article to advise EAA’s licensees to remind their clients of the liability of rates and/or Government rent and to take important steps in checking and clearing the property’s overall outstanding balance of rates and/or Government rent before completing a property transaction, so as to avoid any surcharge for late payment and the Government taking legal action to recover the outstanding amount.

The RVD also introduces the eRVD Bill service for registered users to retrieve the electronic demand and arrange payment of the rates and/or Government rent.

The EAA encourages licensees to refer to the RVD’s article by clicking here. For any further information or enquiries, please contact the RVD’s hotline at 2152 0111 or visit its website at www.rvd.gov.hk
