Officers in the corporation said a streamlined system to collect the tax had already been put in place. Certain banks, having branches in different sectors, were being authorised to accept the tax amount. The service tax will be calculated from the date of notification i.e June 2003. The sources said advertisements would be inserted in newspapers asking the property holders to pay the tax under a policy of self-assessment. A one-month period would be given to tax assesses before the Corporation began the exercise of carrying out fresh surveys. Expecting a revenue of around 10 crore from the property tax, the corporation has tied with banks to collect the fee for the convenience of the tax payers. The tax could be paid biannually or after an year, said sources in the corporation. An officer said initially a policy of self-assessment would be pursued so that there was no pilferage of the tax and there was no harassment to the tax payers. All the other formalities regarding the various slabs to levy the tax , penalty and time schedule have already been finalised and it would require few days to begin the process. A committee having two councillors would listen to the appeals from the payers of property tax. |

institutional buildings Chandigarh, October 20 The issue came up for discussion at the monthly meeting of the Water Supply and Sewerage Disposal Committee meeting held today. The members of the committee, under the chairmanship of Mr Pardeep Chhabra, sought the tabling of findings of the survey at the next meeting of the committee.

Today’s meeting was attended by Mr Vijay Rana, Dr K.S. Raju, Ms Geeta Chaudhary — all councillors and officers of the corporation. In another significant development, the committee recommended the levy of domestic tariff on religious premises. At present, commercial tariff was being levied on religious places.

However, the committee referred the matter of levying of domestic tariff on professionals running consultancy services from residential premises to the F&CC. At present, the professionals have to pay commercial tariff. The committee approved 11 agenda items regarding various development works in the city. The members unanimously demanded the immediate approval of estimates already passed by the committee. It had been found that procedural delays were resulting in delay in the implementation of development works. |
