(a) Savings Clause. This chapter shall not apply to any person, firm, corporation, or to any property as to whom or which it is beyond the power of Council to impose the tax herein provided for. If any sentence, clause, section or part of this chapter, or any tax against any individual or any of the several groups specified herein, is found to be unconstitutional, illegal or invalid, such unconstitutionality, illegality or invalidity shall affect only such sentence, clause, section or part of this chapter and shall not affect or impair any of the remaining provisions, sentences, clauses, sections or other parts of this chapter. It is hereby declared to be the intention of Council that this chapter would have been adopted had such unconstitutional, illegal or invalid sentence, clause, section or part thereof not have been included herein.
(b) Refunds. Should it appear that any taxpayer has paid more than the amount of the tax to which the City is entitled under the provisions of this chapter, a refund of the amount so overpaid shall be made, provided a proper claim for refund of such overpayment of tax has been filed by the taxpayer.
