Sir,

 

Sub: Subsuming eight Corporation Taxes into one. One Corporation One Tax.

 

We, tax payers of India, welcome the deferring of Property tax increase heeding to our request which we have expressed in our earlier letters to you. We thank you for the same.

 

We have also written to you a number of times on merging the eight different taxes that is currently being levied by the Municipalities and Municipal Corporations across Tamil Nadu, into one. Across the country, GST subsumed 22 different taxes and made it into one.

 

Many of the taxes under municipalities are not collectable fully. These are existing only for namesake. Some are difficult to collect and leads to partial collections. Property Tax, Professional Tax, Entertainment tax, Timber tax, Shopkeepers tax are a few of them.

 

We would like to look at Charges and taxes separately. Taxes could be merged and formed into one single tax which will make it easy to collect and also easy to pay from the tax payer point of view. It is a win-win for all stake holders.

 

Let us have One Municipal Corporation – One Tax.

 

We thank you for your patient reading of this request. We look forward to your positive action.

 

Best regards,

For India Tax Payer

 

 

President
