Q: I heard that the property tax collection system is going to get very intense from now onw? Anybody have any info regarding this? Will this new system make it harder or easier for us tax payers in hyderabad?
I heard that the commissioner wants to collect additional revenues from the property tax collection drive because he has plans to carry out intensive city beautification, by buildings parks, improving the condition of the graveyards and having at least 2 lakes per zonal jurisdictions.
The idea behind this meeting was to prepare an action plan concentrating more on commercial properties and also to coordinate with all the tax wings of the GHMC to fix up the responsibilities as was done last year. The staff who collect more taxes would receive incentives like last year
They want to fetch additional revenues, and for this purpose solely Commissioner Somesh Kumar held a review meeting on civic related issues to augment the revenues by preparing an action plan so as to take up the tax collection from the first week of November.
No, no. It wont be harder. The GHMC is trying to figure a more efficient way of collection to ensure that all the property owners pay the taxes so that honest tax payers like yourself dont have to bear the entire brunt.
