Then make your concerns known on a public platform. Tell us exactly how the tax is inequitable or discriminatory.
People bedroom getting tax as a part of their house, yet nobody claiming is a sleeping or bulling tax. The religious persecution angle is completely garbage.
The legislation is publicly available for all to see, point to a section ans say where it ill conceived. Make no sense for men to be playing soggy crix on the internet over who hate the tax the most, but eh saying nothing to make their voice heard.
2NR not public? My concerns with this tax are already well known in this very thread.
Which religious group in T&T besides Hinduism has external prayer rooms? Can you not open your mind to see how it could be viewed as a tax targeting them? Of course Impsy doing nothing to allay this fear, misguided or not.

Because Imbert is a blasted idiot. External Prayer rooms if taxed would be highly dependent on the construction of it. Fully Enlclosed and covered? 15-25% of the rate of the regular house per square foot.
Everything i said here to disprove the sheit Imbert said has been right so far even before he come out to the news with it. From when I called out the taxing dog kennel and latrine to section 23 for poverty relief. Yet alyuh eh hearing what i saying.

But all in all its really an injun tax.
We know that no one in beetham and laventille will get taxed and in the other PNM hot spots areas.
This tax will lead to ppl not improving their homes or doing mods to it.
These valuations will be done by PNM ppl and mostly likely they will have an unspoken mandate to tax injuns higher
you going to be so surprised when you actually see who the assessors are
and the valuers
and the deputy COV
and the COV himself
Not really.
so you know that they are majority indians then?

I giving you the exact rate for an enclosed and covered structure apart from the house. I eh telling you how to build it.
Voiding any area of a private residence is much more headache than it is worth. Anybody could claim anything is a prayer room. No assessor will go inside a house or closed structure, so your entire house could be a prayer room at that point.
And how would one even prove that they are of a religion which requires a prayer room?
Should a note from the pundit be sought?
The best way to deal with this is to separate church from state entirely and treat everyone as equal before this law.

Have you ever seen, or been in a Hindu prayer room? I think if you're genuinely claiming a prayer room as such, then you as the homeowner would show the valuator that it is indeed a prayer room with all the items that a prayer room normally has, like murtis etc.
Your "entire house as a prayer room" argument is laughable btw. Anyone seeking an exemption from any tax has to show why they qualify for such, be it annuity statements, tourism investment. It is not dependent on emotion, or because you say/feel so.
Proton power has no Hindu family, he is Indentied as a PNM and his opinion is flawed.

Yes I have been, I have Hindu family.
The underlying question is why should it be exempt. Food and education are also fundamental human rights, but kitchens and studies (for the homes that do have studies) are still taxed.
Where is the line? Serious question, is not as if i just being obtuse for no reason.

sMASH wrote:the lil puja rooms are not a 'rentable' part of the house, or property. it cannot be used to 'generate an income' , it cannot be used as a way to 'store wealth'
the reason to have it, is more or less the same reason why public religious establishments are tax exempt.
is like, if u have a stoosh bathroom, or a simple one, u can adjust ur asking price to suit the value added. but nobody goin and say, well that is a realll nice puja room, so that means u gonna charge a high price for the property. u not going to buy the property cause it has a puja room to die for.
and, instead of installing a Jacuzzi, u decided to put a puja room...
just low.
the only reprieve is that the valuators look at the puja rooms, and say it not valid to be assessed as a separate structure.
