Property Tax In Kerala To Be Linked With The Fair Value Of Land: Latest Update
As per the latest news update, the recent orders issued states that the property tax assessment in urban local bodies in Kerala will soon be linked to the fair value of the land. On February 12, 2021, the Local Self-government Department notified the reassessment, through a legal order.
The Urban Affairs Department has prepared a list of basic tax rates and fair values for buildings of various categories, like residential properties, commercial purpose, industrial purpose, educational purpose, hospitals, theatres, assembly buildings, resorts, amusement parks and mobile towers.
The basic tax rate based on fair value has been fixed for buildings for commercial purposes in the range up to 100 sq m, above 100 sq m and up to 200 sq m, and above 200 sq m.
Earlier, buildings were assessed, based on the annual rental value. Later, a new rule was introduced in which the tax was collected based on the support area.
In February 2020, the Kerala government announced a hike in the fair value of land by up to 30%, in areas where large-scale projects had been identified. The entire exercise will attract more revenue from stamp duty payable on property buying and selling. A lot of realtors have been opposing and protesting the move, as the total cost of construction would go up considerably leading to less profits. But the industry experts say the decision to hike fair value is a retrospective step. Further, pulling down an industry that has been struggling, post-demonetisation, the floods, the employment crisis in the Middle-East and now, the unfortunate Coronavirus pandemic.
Apart from this, regular home buyers who buy plots for house construction would have to shell out extra for purchasing the land.
