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.
