Kalyana Karnataka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KKCCI), a body of industrialists and traders from Kalyana Karnataka region, has urged Urban Development Minister Byrathi Basavaraj to take steps to reduce property tax in Kalaburagi City Corporation limits with a view to boosting business activities.
In a media note released in Kalaburagi on Tuesday, Prashant S. Manakar and Sharanabasappa M. Pappa, president and secretary of the trade body respectively, held that the constant increase in property tax in Kalaburagi city limits has affected business activities of traders and industrialists.
They also said that the government has purposely used the timing of COVID-19 and the subsequent lockdown to increase taxes by amending the relevant Act to avoid public opposition.
