Same I done set aside the 5k , I refuse to do someone else's work and complete that form along with taking the pictures of my home

[Rayden6]

We have to make a stand and don't full out this form it's very wrong,having paid vat etc on building materials,tax when property is bought...why the don't just adjust the current L&B tax?

[ProtonPowder]

L&B tax was repealed 12 years ago, it does not exist

[88sins]

Yuh want property tax? Time to done away with stamp duty.

Scenario: according to an article, govt is about 35k forms away from reach the 200k mark which would allow for initiating the process.

Does this mean that only those who submitted will be paying?

What happen to other households?

Is it wise to say that I could face a one time fine of 5k as opposed to taxes for a lifetime? Last I saw, there is nothing to suggest you can be fined more than once.

Maths not mathsing

This is really inconveniencing us property owners who live abroad, especially if they require upload of front and side photos of the building, WASA bill, etc.

On my next trip back I am going full-fledge paperless billing for all utilities. Getting family members to do anything is costing me $$$, especially with Christmas right around the corner. Trinis boy. Sigh.

How you paying your bills and maintaining your house if you living abroad..

Family paying on my behalf.

I think they need at least that quota to start the process, so anyone who did not submit will still be subject to paying a fine of up to 5K. Curious to know if they don't meet the threshold what will happen to those of us who already submitted.

I think this is the beginning of an overhaul process in trying to hold every citizen owning land/property accountable. The government must generate additional revenue somehow.

Ttec has a online portal where you just need to type in the bill number and use any credit card to pay it.

That's besides the service where you can go in and register to have it automatically paid.
So if right now you want to pay a bill you just need to type in the account number and it will show the amount and you can pay it

Wasa you can sign up online and do the same thing

You don't need to go in to do it

When u brought your land you paid stamp duty,
When you brought your building materials you paid vat.
When you installed your AC your paid Vat.
You planted fruit trees and did a good land scaping, you have to pay extra tax

How much taxes must you pay for shoddy to little services received?

FINANCE Minister Colm Imbert said on Wednesday his ministry has received 165,000 completed valuation forms for residential properties, out of the 200,000 needed to reach the 50 per cent threshold required by law in order to trigger collection under the Property Tax Act.

Dont submit , Civil disobedience

[Val]

I don't think it is disobedient to not bow to bullying tactics.

How about showing exactly what the public will gain from these taxes? If it's going in someone's pocket with no benefit to the wider populous, then I prefer to keep my money thank you.

Reduce PAYE or increase the PAYE yearly threshold which will benefit the lower income earners, and the multiple property owners who are generally better off can surely pay a little property tax to offset that.

personal allowance was raised twice in the last few years

From 60k to 72k, then to 84k

96K next and when?

[88sins]

The bulk of the working population takes home less than 5k/month. Many weekly and fortnightly paid persons, and several government workers included, take home about 1k/week. So that tax allowance does nothing for those people.

Yuh kno, I asked this before, and nobody answered, so imma ask again.
Would it be so terrible a thing to simply abolish property taxes entirely? Considering that the people showing that they DON'T want it, and the state can't really show how the taxpayer benefits from it.
And don't say it can't be done, it's been done in several other countries.

I guess the inability to get the required number of forms is the best referendum.

One would think so, but in this case these overdressed jackasses and this albino imp with a face like a rotten grapefruit for a minister of fine ants is insistent that they will ignore that subtle cue from the public.

Maybe it might be time for some not-so-subtle cues, or outright open and hostile defiance to help these dim bulbs figure it out.

But lewwe see what happens

old men don't role play son, they seriously defiant, because is they who have the most to lose/taking the hardest hit, know they don't want this and saying it out loud and showing it.
As opposed to the youngsters of the day, who stand for nothing, and own nothing, thus bear no cost or responsibilty, and many of whom probably gonna reach retirement age and dead still owning nothing.


People decisively choosing to not submit. Clown Inbutt is known for being a pnm liar, so it's safe to assume the numbers he's spewing are lies. I suspect they have less than half of what's required for them to start.


Doh worry, when it collapse on itself, yuh go gt with a new job prospect eventually.

[Country_Bookie]

I don't quite understand what legislation the government has in place to fine me 5,000 for not doing their job for them. They had to pass a law before they could charge people for talking on a cell phone while driving. Did they pass a law to require every property owner to submit the valuation return??
