They can first lodge formal proposals and objections with
the Rating and Valuation Department, but if they are still not satisfied

The Bill also contains a number of minor changes to update
rating practice and strengthen administrative procedures.
These include provisions for a longer period of time to ratepayers
in which to submit returns, and for claims for refund of rates to be
made up to twelve months after such rates are payable instead of the
existing 15-day limit following the end of the quarter.
Provisions are also made for a general increase in the amount
of fines which may be imposed under the ordinance, but the provisions for
imprisonment which applied in certain cases have been removed.
