Industrial units functioning in notified industrial parks and estates are keenly looking forward to a government circular exempting them from the purview of tax collection by local government bodies.
The Kerala State Small Industries Association (KSSIA) said some local bodies like Kollam Corporation had exempted units in the Mundakkal development plot from payment of building and employment taxes and licence fee.
KSSIA president A. Nizarudeen said owners of units functioning in 119 industrial estates and upcoming private industrial estates hoped that a State-wide circular would cover all of them.
