Vacant land tax

(Querist) 30 November 2012 This query is : Resolved 
Dear Sir/Madam
I bought vacant site 984sqt on 9.11.2011 at Trichirapalli city. land is suituated within coprporation limit still i keep vacant site.As per EC first Registration was mwde on September 2006. from this day onwards vacant land tax not paid upto my Registration ie due until 9.11.2011. Now Trichirapalli Corporation says that i have to pay 1% on Govt guideline value as Vacant Tax. Their Calculation as follows :
2006-2007 - Ist half 1% on 7laks = 7000
2006-2007 - II half 1% on 7laks = 7000
2007-2008 - I half = 7000
2007-2008 - II half = 7000
2008-2009 - I half = 7000
2008-2009 - II half = 7000
2009- 2010- I half 0.30pise/Sqt = 300
(0.30paisex984Sqt)
from 2009 on wards .030paise per Sqt

My question is Is there any law to collect 1% on Registered value of the property as Vacant Lant Tax.
2) 1% is ment for 1 year or for one half

kindly give your openion.

Thank you
yours truly
Ganesh

it is advisable to contact a local lawyer and obtain his opinion . Imposition of tax on land and building comes in the purview of the Stategovernment. each state has its own tax model .

You shall have to pay as per rates prevalent and fixed by municipal authority else you challenge their notification before High court.
