Thiruvananthapuram: Even when City Corporation is on a heavy mission to publish tax arrears in different environments, cardinal problems surrounding the software managed by Kerala Mission information remains unsolved.
In a meeting organized by the Director of Joint Urban Affairs on October 30, City Corporation presented a series of problems regarding the software.
Responding to Kerala’s mission information quoted at a meeting that the report will be completed on November 10, seven days later, City Corporation has not received a response from IKM.
Even in the list of arrears published throughout the environment, tax contributions come from Fiscal 2016-17.
The tax payment status before this period remains a case of concern for City Corporation.
This software allows tax assessment only with the effects of 2016-17.
The software does not have the option to assess the building based on the annual lease value before this period.
Unless City Corporation gets a way to assess and calculate contributions based on the long system of tax assessments for buildings for the period before 2016-17, actual contributions may still be unclear.
City Corporation has also sent a letter to Kerala’s information mission on October 15, marking striking shortcomings in IKM software.
During the council’s previous term, the corporation had highlighted the problem and disruption in IKM software but was unsuccessful.
Similar communication references in the past have also been mentioned in the letter sent on October 15.
While the corporation updates a record of around 4.5 lakh tax assessment and even though CESS services are being counted in city companies along with a past three years, software does not have facilities to add Cess services in buildings that are assessed before the CESS service will take effect.
While combining the database before 2016, officials tried to post taxes for a full year; However, the system still will reflect half a year, the letter was sent to the IKM event.
It also includes other technical disorders such as delays, often the instance of the obstacle system that has delayed the process of data renewal.
Like tax relaxation for men former services, software has no provisions for updating relaxation every year after supervision of the required documents.
Officials are afraid that even after doing tiring tasks to update tax data, the corporation will still face difficulties dealing with irregularities unless the software is updated.
In addition, in the absence of calculating contributions with a retrospective effect, defraugter will also find ways to avoid contributions, officials show.
