IRAS charges 10% instead of 4% .. how?

[mochi28]

Hi,

I've just gotten my keys 1 week back and IRAS's property bill came to charge me 10% instead of 4%. Somemore, charge me the months before I got the keys and
the previous owner say he has already paid up.

How do i go about doing a dispute?

go to IRAS mytax portal and submit a claim for the 4% concession.... its pretty hassle free

Previous owner might have lease out his HDB unit, hence the 10%...

submited the form to claim 4% online but the iras bill already here ... muz i pay up first?
is it difficult to claim refund from IRAS?
previous owner they charge 4% but the owner paid up; yet they still bill me .. dun get it.

Dun worry lah.. when dealing with IRAS.. super efficient one. If they owe u $.. will send u chq very fast.. is very common to adjust their statement of account. Their computer system very online.. u must always pay up first, and then IRAS will credit u back. No such thing as contra off, unless u willing to pay the 5% penalty.

pay up first.. they will refund you accordingly... as in my case

don't pay first, they will take forever to refund the difference. Write to them first.
