What is Property Tax?<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Land<\/p>\n

When a person is liable to pay some amount to the local or state government for their property, it is termed property tax or land tax. However, not every asset will be considered for the property tax.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Those assets which are classified as real property like land and building will be calculated under the property tax calculation.<\/span><\/p>\n

On different kinds of real estate possession like land, the landowner has to pay on an annual or half half-yearly basis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Calculation Of Land Tax<\/b><\/h2>\n

    \"Land<\/p>\n

    The property tax depends on the valuation and the appraisal of the locality. Th amount of property tax may vary from one locality to another depending on the amenities available in that area and other factors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The methodologies of calculating the land tax are different for different areas. However, there are three different ways provided in the following which can be used for deciding the property tax:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Sales Evaluation or Unit area value system: <\/b>Here the assessor will value the property by comparing the sales value in that area. The evaluation criteria will include the location, state of the property, improvements done, and the overall market condition. Per-unit price is calculated base on the carpet area. This approach is used in Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Patna, Hyderabad, and Kolkata.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • Income Method or Annual rental value system: <\/b>Here it is assessed how much money could be incurred if the property was rented. Under this approach the maintenance cost, property management cost, insurance & tax cost, and the returned income can be anticipated from the property. This approach is used by municipal bodies of Chennai and Hyderabad.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        • Cost Method or Capital value-based system:<\/b> Here the property value is assessed based on the amount to replace it. When the property is old, the assessment will be done on the amount of depreciation and vacant property value. When the property is new then the cost of building materials and labor is focused on deducing any realistic depreciation for the final value. The BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation) uses this approach.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          The general formula used for municipal tax calculation is<\/b><\/p>\n

          Tax on property = Base value of the property <\/b>x<\/span> Type of building <\/b>x<\/span> Age of the building <\/b>x<\/span> built-up area <\/b>x<\/span> category <\/b>x<\/span> floor factor\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

          \"Land<\/p>\n

          In whichever way the property tax is paid i.e, through offline mode or online mode, you should collect the tax receipt after the payment for future reference.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          Almost every tax portal website the government provides an option for tax calculation so that you get an idea of how much you should pay and save.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          For eg: in Citizen Portal Services Property Tax of Greater Mumbai, the tax calculator would require information like your ward, zone, occupancy type, year of construction, FSI factor, etc to calculate the capital value.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                \"Land<\/p>\n

                The main reason behind paying property tax is that it helps the state government to utilize the amount for the development of roads, schools, parks, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                • Penalty on late payment: <\/b>If you are paying the property tax after its due date then you will be penalized with 5-20% more on the due amount. This amount will be higher if your property or land area is large.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
                • Fulfilling the tax obligations:<\/b> Apart from getting benefits of concession on property tax, it should also be a moral obligation. The tax amount is used for the betterment of the state.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
