Civic body goes on a tax collection drive

The Tiruchirapalli City Corporation has launched an intensive tax collection drive to mop up property and other tax dues from city residents.

The drive will continue till the end of this month, Corporation Commissioner V.P. Thandapani has said. Under the Tiruchirapalli Corporation Act, the residents have to pay their property tax dues within 15 days from the commencement of a half year and water charge every three months, he said in a release.

Taxes can be remitted at the corporation service centres at the K. Abishekapuram, Srirangam, Golden Rock, and Ariyamangalam zonal offices or at the computerised collection centres in the city.

All the service and tax collection centres of the corporation will function from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.

Mr. Thandapani appealed to the residents to pay their property, vacant site, and professional tax dues and the water and underground drainage charges before September 30 and avoid penal action.
