Taxpayers demand withdrawal of hike in municipal taxes
- | Friday | 20th July, 2018
The Tax Payers’ Association (TPA) has demanded that the government and the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation immediately withdraw the hike in water and sewage taxes. In a press conference here, association president V. Sambi Reddy said that in the last five years water and sewage taxes saw a 40% hike. It is high time the city Mayor, MLAs and corporators ensured that the tax burden on the public was reduced, he added. “During the regime of the special officer, the water and sewage taxes were linked to property tax five years ago. This resulted in 40% hike in five years turning a burden to the taxpayers now,” Mr. Reddy said.
