Crown rent payers who have not received their demand notes should bring along Crown rent demand notes for any previous period to any of the six Treasury collection offices listed above.
Duplicate Crown rent demand notes will be issued to them. Payment can then be made at any of these offices.
If the payers cannot produce Crown rent demand notes for any previous period, they should inquire at the Crown Rent Unit of the Treasury at Immigration Tower, 30th floor, 7 Gloucester Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong. Non-receipt of the demand note does not alter the requirement that the Crown rents must be paid on or before December 25.
Crown rent payers who have submitted a valid direct debit authorisation should note that if the wording "Payment To Be Made By Autopay" is shown on the demand notes, payment of Crown rents will be made by direct debit to their bank accounts on December 27. They should then ensure that their bank accounts contain the necessary funds on that date.
If the above wording is not shown on the demand notes, Crown rent payers should make payments according to the payment instructions as stipulated in the demand notes.
To avoid the possible inconvenience of queueing, the spokesman urged Crown rent payers use the Payment by Phone Service, or pay by post using cheques or cashier orders, or by early personal attendance at any of the collection offices.
However, the most convenient method for payment of Crown rents is autopay under which Crown rent payers' bank accounts will only be debited on Crown rent due dates, he added.
Applications for autopay are obtainable from Treasury Collection Offices, District Offices and all major banks in Hong Kong or by telephoning 2829 4998.
