High time property tax is filed online

With Mysuru City Corporation’s (MCC) recent announcement of a five per cent rebate on basic tax for those who file their taxes before April 30, several residents are rushing to their nearest MCC zonal offices to pay the taxes. However, since the corporation has not enabled the facility of paying the tax online, most property owners are forced to shell out extra money to get the application form filled. Property owners pay Rs 50 to application fillers, who can be found in the nine zonal offices. Owners have no other option since nobody else knows the standard depreciation that has to be applied to the property and the various kinds of cess one has to pay, such as library cess, UGD Cess, health, destitute, solid waste management and others.
