The A.P. United Citizens Forum on Sunday took strong objection to the Anantapur Municipal Corporation’s decision to serve notices to impose Property Tax as per G.O. 198, which according to its leaders is arbitrary as the quantum of the hike has not been mentioned in it.
At a press conference here on Sunday, forum general secretary A.G. Rajmohan said that since the municipal authorities were ready with special notices imposing the new property tax, they have conveyed their objections to the Chief Minister, Municipal Administration Minister, Principal Secretary Municipal Administration and Director of Municipal Administration.
The forum leaders said that the notice says the revision in tax was based on Act 44 of 2020, but nowhere in the notice was the exact amount that the property owner is supposed to pay was shown except for a uniform hike imposed on the existing tax based on House Rental Value, which misguides the public.
