9. If I received a Property Tax assessment and found that the net assessable value (NAV) and the tax charged are incorrect, what should I do?

To find out why the net assessable value and the tax amount are excessive, you may first review any assessor's note written on the notice of assessment. 

In case of disagreement with the assessment, you must lodge a written notice of objection (or a Form IR831) with this Department within one month after the date of issue of the assessment, stating the grounds of objection clearly.

Alternatively, if you have opened your eTAX account, you can lodge a notice of objection against the assessment via your eTAX account.

If you are eligible for, and wish to select, Personal Assessment, you should double-check your Tax Returns to ensure that your selection is valid.

Pending the ultimate settlement of the objection, you should pay as indicated on the demand note or follow the Assessor's advice as regards tax payment - whether you have to pay a lesser amount of tax or the full tax in the first instance.
