Kochi Corporation to assist residents filling up property tax forms
Considering that the intricate self-assessment forms of property tax proves to be difficult ones to fill out for residents, Kochi Corporation is to send out its officials to help residents fill the forms.
The welcome move is announced as a wide range of information, including the distance of the building from the thoroughfare, type of roofing, construction materials used and age of the building, is required to be filled by the tax payers.
A series of calculations are also to be made by the owner of the property, including basic taxes and rebates based on the type of construction, plinth area and age of the building.
Moreover, the owner will be liable for fine or any other legal proceedings if the facts furnished in forms are proved incorrect and misleading. Hence, the civic authority has come up to assist people to fill up the forms and clarify their doubts concerning the data to be inserted to the document.
There are around five lakh door numbers in the city including the individual residential units, apartments and commercial establishments. Under the new tax regime, each unit will have to be given new house numbers and tax assessment forms.
