(a) If the taxpayer shall make any clerical error which shall be apparent on the face of the return in computing the tax assessable against him, the Recorder shall correct such error or reassess the proper amount of tax, and notify the taxpayer of his action by mailing to him promptly a copy of the corrected assessment, and any additional tax for which such taxpayer may be liable shall be paid within fifteen days after receipt of such statement.
(b) If the amount already paid by the taxpayer exceeds that which should have been paid on the basis of the tax so recomputed, the excess so paid shall be immediately refunded to the taxpayer by the Recorder out of any funds available for that purpose or the taxpayer may elect to apply the overpayment as a credit upon the tax subsequently accruing hereunder.
