Advice to Property Owners on Rates and/or Government Rent Liability

The Rating and Valuation Department (“RVD”) has recently issued an article to remind all licensees to remind their clients of the liability of rates and/or Government rent, to check and clear any outstanding balance of rates and/or Government rent prior to the transaction of the property, and about the eligibility to register as payer and the purpose of the demands for rates and/or Government rent.

The EAA encourages licensees to read the RVD’s article by clicking here. For any further information or enquiries, please contact the RVD’s hotline at 2152 0111 or visit its website at www.rvd.gov.hk
