PAY YOUR TAXES BY POST

****

MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE STRONGLY ADVISED 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 THE IR 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 60,000 PEOPLE MADE USE OF THE POST TO PAY THEIR 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 MUST BE SENT WITH THE DEMAND NOTES, WHICH WILL BE RECEIPTED AND POSTED BACK TO THE TAXPAYER WITHIN A FEW DAYS.+ REMINDERS WOULD NOT BE ISSUED, HE ADDED.

CROSSED CHEQUES SHOULD BE SENT TO *-

AMENDED ZONING PLAN FOR WANG TAU HOM

*****

THE TOWN PLANNING BOARD HAS PUBLISHED AN AMENDED OUTLINE ZONING PLAN FOR THE WANG TAU HOM AND TUNG TAU AREAS,

THERE ARE TWO REASONS FOR THE PUBLICATION OF THIS PLAN.

FIRSTLY, THE UPHOLDING OF A NUMBER OF OBJECTIONS TO THE

ORIGINAL PLAN REQUIRES AMENDMENTS TO BE MADE.

SECONDLY. THERE IS A NEED TO INCLUDE A NEW FORM OF NOTES ON THE PLAN WHICH ALLOWS, IN CERTAIN SPECIFIED CIRCUMSTANCES, FOR APPLICATIONS TO BE MADE TO THE TOWN PLANNING BOARD TO DEPART FROM SOME OF THE ZONING PROPOSALS SHOWN ON THE PLAN.
