Sir,
This post is regarding revised property tax calculation in greater chennai corporation.
The procedure as to how the revised property tax is calculated has been published by chennai corporation in their online site - greater chennai corporation property tax calculator. After filling up all the property details and the property area in the relevant boxes, if the button "calculate demand" is pressed, the detailed calculation for the property tax is exhibited. From the above details, it may be seen that there is no rebate for owner occupied building (It is shown as "zero" whereas in the past 25% rebate was allowed) and further there is no rebate for the age of the building (As per good engineering practice 1 to 1.5% depreciation for every year is provided). Therefore it is requested to modify the calculation sheet taking into 25% rebate for owner occupied building and further allowing suitable depreciation for the age of the building. This will reduce the property tax burden to some extent.
I could not send this post directly to chennai corporation (The commissioner, property tax) as the e mail id of the officers are not available in public dominion.
