Property Tax in Trinidad & Tobago

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Many of the biggest complainers have no problem finding money for carnival, phone, brands, vice, rum and all kinds of unnecessary things. Then on the other side, the money going to party hacks...we really deserve what we voted for.

Spoken like a true pnmite

Use coalpot, ride bike, doh eat macaroni pie etc

Oh yeah I forgot to mention another colossal waste of money... stupid indos that have those panel vans that laden with music worth many thousands, making noise by the river, beach, gas station funeral or any gathering where rum is consumed, no regards to peace and quiet or family time. Most of them licensed T, which means they supposed to use vehicle for commercial or agricultural purposes. They avoid vehicle tax to annoy the average person. They should be made to pay the arv as the tax, like their yellow overlords telling them.

So what's the story with paying property tax if you've not been assessed, didn't submit and no notice received? Prepare thy anus?

[PariaMan]

I am in that boat waiting to see how it will play off.

I wish everyone had refused to sign up, and then there would be no property tax

We complaining but still went like sheep and filled out the forms

Valuation division told me that you don't have to fill out a form to get evaluated. The Commissioner of state lands has a database of properties so even people who did not send in anything will be getting letters eventually.

[ProtonPowder]

The alternative database is from TTPOST, not COSL. Call them and ask what a "GIS Blitz Return" means.

Since 2017, it's been the same:
2.7% of ARV
3.0% of ATV

They just needed you to submit so they could get 50% of the populations consent to tax us.

And 50% of us had enough sheep DNA in them to behave like drones and do as they were told

Bulls eye.

In most people the sheep DNA is very high.

Whatever the overlords say to do, they just do.

[AlphaMan]

If you didn't submit your valuation before to the deadline then you had to pay a fine and submit it anyways so people just submitted it.
They accepted that it was impossible to avoid.
Aunty kams and her legal team did brilliant in stalling the collection of these taxes thus far.
Had it not been for her we would have been paying taxes since 2015.

[PariaMan]

If less than 50% had sent in they could not have continued

[PariaMan]

The Finance Minister further explained, “In other words, the Commissioner of Valuations would, in this amendment, be able to value 50 per cent of residential land, or 50 per cent of commercial land, or 50 per cent of industrial land, or 50 per cent of agricultural land. And when the valuations in the various categories have been completed to the threshold of 50 per cent, the commissioner can then proceed to create the valuation roll and send that to the minister for continuation of the process.”

[PariaMan]

Without 50%, they could not have continued.

It was our moment to conscientiously decline
to participate

We failed

Who say imburt got 50%?

And the dummies believe, that the albino douen liar with a head like a bowling ball on a matchstick and a face like a rotten grapefruit that a dustbin terrier shat on, is telling them the truth

[PariaMan]

Problem is once he says so he can go forward unless he is challenged in court.

But I still can not understand why anyone would have willingly supplied information so that they can be taxed

[PariaMan]

AS of February 28, the Office of the Commissioner of Valuations had received 247,999 returns for residential properties.

This meets the 50 per cent threshold required for the implementation of property tax.

Finance Minister Colm Imbert, in response to a question from Couva South MP Rudy Indarsingh in the House of Representatives on Friday, said up to February 28, there were 247,999 returns received for residential lands; 10,303 for commercial lands; 17,663 returns were received for agricultural lands; and 18,495 returns for mixed-use lands.

Remember there was a $500 then $5,000 fine for not "voluntarily" submitting the valuation form.

that $5k fine is what got most people to submit

[PariaMan]

So let's say 10000 people had submitted would they have charged 390000 people five thousand dollars the year before an election?

No one has been charged as yet

It's likely that before they do, they will give deadlines upon deadlines

Hence, what was the rush to submit?

The bill stated that 50% of the properties in each category were required to be assessed and valued by the Commissioner of Valuations before the tax could take effect.

It also stated that property could also be assessed on the basis of similar properties being rented plus national indicators.

Assessment doesn't require input from anyone that owns or uses the property - the Commissioner of Valuations can just assign and record the final number.

[PariaMan]

Even so why give them a leg up?
