Committee to study demand for abolishing super commercial tax

It cannot be removed at one go, Commissioner tells traders

Mysuru City Corporation Commissioner Lakshmikanth Reddy on Saturday said a committee headed by the Additional Commissioner and comprising four to five officers from the MCC will be constituted to study the demand from traders for abolishing the “super commercial tax”.

The Commissioner also suggested to the traders to constitute a committee on their side having four to five members to come out with solutions to the issue so that neither the MCC nor the traders are affected over the decision on the collection of “super commercial tax”.

Speaking after meeting traders, businessmen and commercial establishments from Mysuru on the issues concerning property tax, trade licence and other tax related matters, he said the revenue of MCC will fall suddenly if the “super commercial tax” was withdrawn at one go besides causing a big burden to the corporation.
