The spokesman said ratepayers who had not received their demand notes should bring along those for any previous quarter to any of the Treasury collection offices.
Duplicate demand notes will be issued to them, he said.
If they cannot produce demand notes for any previous quarter, they should enquire of the Treasury Rates Section, Immigration Tower, 30th Floor, 7 Gloucester Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong.
Non-receipt of the demand notes does not alter the requirement that the rates must be paid by January 30 and unless so paid, ratepayers may be subject to a surcharge of five per cent under section 22 of the Rating Ordinance.
