(a) Claim Required. Prior to seeking judicial relief with respect to a dispute regarding whether the amount of any tax has been overpaid, paid more than once or erroneously or illegally collected or received by the city under this chapter, an aggrieved taxpayer, fee payer, service supplier, service user or any other person must comply with the provisions of section 2.28.230 of this code.
(b) Service Suppliers. A service supplier may claim a refund or take as credit against taxes collected and remitted, the amount overpaid, paid more than once, or erroneously or illegally collected or received when it is established in a manner prescribed by the director of finance that the service user from whom the tax has been collected did not owe the tax; provided, however, that neither a refund nor a credit shall be allowed unless the amount of the tax so collected has either been refunded to the service user or credited to charges subsequently payable by the service user to the service supplier.
