Vijayawada: Vijayawada municipal commissioner G. Veerapandian on Friday asked the officials concerned to gear up to collect pending taxes and clear other issues pending with the revenue wing of the VMC. At a meeting with the officials of revenue wing, Mr Veerapandian expressed dissatisfaction over the pending court cases, title transfer applications and poor collection of property tax, vacant land tax, water tax and sewerage tax.
He said only 12 personnel of the wing managed to collect 50 per cent of property tax as per their targets and only four managed to collect 30 per cent of their target amount in vacant land taxes. He asked officials to ensure that by the end of November at least 70 per cent of the pending taxes are paid and prepare an action plan to achieve it. He also ordered officials to set up a mobile bank if needed to wean out defaulters. He reiterated his resolve to collect taxes.
