The civic body collected property tax amounting to Rs 345 crore till the end of July 31. The TMC had offered a 4 per cent concession to citizens who paid the tax by the deadline.
According to TMC deputy commissioner (tax), GD Godepure, taxpayers responded well to the extension of the 4 per cent concession and property tax amounting to Rs 345 crore was collected by July end, as compared to Rs 260 crore collected during the corresponding period last year.
“This year's property tax collection target is Rs 770 crore and within four months of the financial year, 45 per cent of that has been collected,” Godepure said.
