If the veterans’ exemption is claimed pursuant to the preceding sentence, any tax, or penalty or interest thereon for any fiscal year commencing during the calendar year in which the exemption is claimed, on property to the amount of one thousand dollars ($1,000) owned by the person to whom the veterans’ exemption was available for that fiscal year, shall be canceled or refunded.
