Property Tax in Trinidad & Tobago

[ProtonPowder]

Wasn't property tax primarily based on the rental value of your property ? How de fak yuh go rent yuh personal prayer room and dog kennel boi.....the illiteracy level of these ppl in government is giving me a migraine yes........

Can the room be easily converted for another use? Yes

As for the dog kennels and thing it make no sense. On the sheets they using it have no rates for your normal 6ft*6ft*5ft high dog kennel

However if you chain your dog to a 20*20 shed post and call that a kennel then of course they go measure yuh "kennel"

[matix]

It's simple
- Dog kennels can be used for boarding. That can generate an income
- temples and puja rooms can be rented out for ceremonies
- sheds can be used to facilitate limes, eating areas, hold receptions
Because clearly whoever came up with the idea for it believes this.



I'm red and ready, are you?

[Premchand1976]

With this new crap every month I am surely ready to be dependent , a follower and never a leader, a slave to Massa and his associates, a person with little to no ambition and desire for success since it's apparent you are heavily taxed and penalised for trying to " move up " in life......ready I am.......red I'm not.

More kantery, I have a "kennel" that is really a fenced off section of the back of my property. It is 15*8, because I not on the "dogs could barely fit in the kennel" kinda ting. Lemme see them say that could convert to anything, or better yet, let them tell the dogs that!

Nothing on the rate sheets for an area that is enclosed but uncovered, i cant see that getting assessed tbh

Actually it is covered by the back shed roof, but can it be considered enclosed if it enclosed by chain link fencing?

Typically no, but if it is very well constructed with a single swing gate to fully secure it, then it is possible.

There are hundreds of things out there that run into these grey areas of assessable or not. The way it works is that they still get measured, and most likely discarded from the assessment later on. Pay no attention to Imbert talking about duck pond and chicken coop. In reality those never get measured.

The assessment for land and building really has a taxable value based on the building (and other improvements). If the taxable value of the improvements is less than the taxable value for the vacant land, then the land's taxable value is used (so you cant build a shed on vacant land in Palmiste and only have to pay the absolute minimum).

The 1969 valuation of land act defines land as the land itself, anything affixed to the land, and land covered by water as well. It is very interesting for sure.

So they taxing latrine and outhouse too?...

[zoom rader]

So they taxing latrine and outhouse too?...

Yes even if you a duck, fish pond or car port

[zoom rader]

Watching about this issue n i starting to lean towards zr...is a mc injun tax...they factoring external prayer room, dog kennel, fowl coop etc etc into the value...d arse is dis

It is an Injun tax,

Injuns are known for keeping chickens, goats , ducks , some have fish ponds that will get taxed. Bird cages will be next as this an injun hobby.
Most other injuns have car ports and tool sheds.

When these tax inspecters pass around they will most likely be PNM ppl employed and will have a mandate to tax injuns higher. This is no lie.

Those features don't matter, once you look injun is all that matters.

It's why they introduced photos for when applying for an HDC house
to weed out those that look like injuns cause alot of injuns carry English surnames.

[hong kong phooey]

one dog kennel for rent 18000 per month can sleep 2 comfortably
one month advanced rental and after the second month rent it yours to keep
