For rating and valuation purposes, “Requisition for Particulars of Tenements” (Forms R1A) are issued by the RVD from time to time to obtain up-to-date information relating to tenements, for example to assist in the determination of rateable values for the next general revaluation, when a lease has recently expired, or when a rent has been reviewed.

Not all people paying government rates and/or rent will receive requisition forms (R1A). However, payers who receive the forms should complete them honestly and return them to RVD within 21 days from the date of issue through the following ways –

  • By post or in person (Address: 15/F, Cheung Sha Wan Government Offices, 303 Cheung Sha Wan Road, Kowloon. Opening hours: Monday to Friday, 8:15am - 6:00pm); or
  • Electronically submit the form through the Internet, please  click here for details.

Anyone who knowingly makes a false statement or refuses to furnish particulars requested in the R1A could face a maximum fine of $25,000 or $10,000 respectively and, in addition, a fine equivalent to three times their rates and/or Government rent undercharged. The department has successfully taken prosecution action against offenders who have subsequently been fined through court proceedings. As such, payers are advised to complete the form honestly and submit it to RVD before the deadline.
