PAY YOUR TAXES BY POST
*****
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE URGED TO PAY THE IR TAXES BY POST.
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE INLAND REVENUE DEPARTMENT SAID TODAY THAT OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS MANY PEOPLE WOULD BE SETTLING THEIR TAX BILLS.
+BY PAYING THROUGH THE POST, YOU CAN SAVE A TRIP TO ONE OF THE COLLECTION OFFICES AND AVOID THE INCONVENIENCE OF QUEUING UP THERE, HE SAID.
LAST YEAR ABOUT 100,000 PEOPLE MADE USE OF THE POST TO PAY THE IR TAXES AND MANY MORE ARE DOING SO THIS YEAR.
THE SPOKESMAN SAID: +THERE IS NO SURCHARGE IF THE PAYMENTS ARE RECEIVED LATE SO LONG AS THE ENVELOPE IS POSTMARKED NOT LATER THAN THE DUE DATE SHOWN IN THE DEMAND NOTE,+
+CHEQUES SHOULD BE SENT WITH THE DEMAND NOTES, WHICH WILL BE RECEIPTED AND POSTED BACK TO THE TAXPAYER WITHIN A FEW DAYS.+
+IF YOU CANNOT SEND YOUR DEMAND NOTE WITH YOUR CHEQUE, BE SURE TO QUOTE YOUR INLAND REVENUE REFERENCE NUMBER OR CHARGE NUMBER, AND TO GIVE YOUR ADDRESS.
+WITHOUT THAT INFORMATION OR A DEMAND NOTE, A CHEQUE
CANNOT BE RECEIPTED IMMEDIATELY AND THE DELAY IN PROCESSING IT MAY RESULT IN THE ISSUE OF A COMPUTER-PRODUCED SURCHARGE NOTICE.+
REMINDERS WOULD NOT BE ISSUED, HE STRESSED.
CROSSED CHEQUES SHOULD BE SENT TO:-
THE COMMISSIONER OF INLAND REVENUE, CENTRAL MAIL OFF ICE, G.P.O. BOX 132, HONG KONG.
