Hospitality sector in Mysuru hails rebate on property tax

Clarity sought on waiver in case taxes have already been paid

The State Government’s notification announcing a waiver of 50% on property tax, to be paid by hotels, restaurants, and amusement parks for 2021-22, has been welcomed by local stakeholders in the hospitality sector.

However, they have sought clarity on whether there will be a reimbursement if the owners have already paid the tax. Though the Government’s intent on the waiver was announced in June, it was notified only on Saturday.

“Over 50% of the property owners have already paid the tax and the association has been flooded with calls on the subject of refund,” said Narayana Gowda, president, Mysuru Hotel Owners’ Association.
