MCG going extra mile to recover Rs 600 crore property tax dues
Gurgaon: Within the next one and half months, Municipal Corporation Gurgaon (MCG) is all set to collect the property tax from the residents of New Gurgaon areas. As the collection of tax was pending since 2008, the civic body is aggressive enough to collect the house tax.
From now onwards, the civic body has decided to link the payment of property tax with No objection certificate (NOC) and trade license. This new norm will be implemented on malls, hotels, cinema complexes and even group housing societies and residential high rises.
Even the mall owners and RWA were asked to make new property owners to pay tax and if they fail to to do so, they will not be granted the fire NoC or trade license from the MCG.
In a meeting, MCG Commissioner Vijay Singh Dahiya said that the main revenue collection is from the house tax and they will also discuss with industrial associations and RWAs to seek their support.
From Gurgaon, MCG is expecting house tax from at least 4 lakh properties. The corporation has divided the system into two sub committees, one which is assigned for redressal of complaints as there are around 50,000 objection raised by many residents. Around Rs 200 crore of outstanding tax can be recovered if these objection are properly taken care as assessed by the MCG. Basically this objections were raised due to wrong name or address of the property owner to discrepancies in calculation of tax.
According to the tax policy till 31 December, the tax payers can avail a rebate on dues that came in June 2012.
