As stated earlier, an extract of Property tax Register is an account of assessment of property for the payment of tax. The extract of Property tax Register is neither a record of rights nor does it confer ownership.

This is done when the title of property is transferred from one person to another by way of Sale, Gift, will or in case of death of the property owner, settlement release sale deed or by division of property through an instrument etc., where by another person becomes primarily liable for tax.

The self-assessment of property tax system on the whole has been brought into force through the Karnataka Municipalities (Amendment) Act, 2000 and the Karnataka Municipalities (Amendment) Ordinance, 2003 and the Karnataka Municipalities (Amendment) Act, 2003.

In the old Law the Municipalities prescribed the rate of tax. The assessing officer was levying tax after fixing annual rental value of the property. The powers of deciding the value of the property and assessment of tax were with the tax officers. In the new Law, the Registration Department decides guidance market value of the property assessment as per Stamp Act in different areas and the municipalities fix the tax rate on the capital value. The owner of the property assesses on his own the property tax of his property, pays it and files the returns. For tax evaders the officers will fix the tax, impose penalty and recover the same.

There is an offer of a concession of 5% for those who remit the tax for the year 2002-03 and 2003-04 before 30-9-2003. There is no fear of harassment, litigations to him. For those who evade tax without assessment of property, 2% of penalty will be imposed compulsorily for each month.

It is natural that the market value of land in different areas is different. Having agreed, hitherto, the market value fixed by the Expert Committee under Section 45B of Stamp Act since several years, it is not proper to oppose it now at the time of paying this property tax. It is inevitable to pay property tax as per the value announced so far.

IIt is an offence to organize mass movement in case of tax that has adverse effect on the revenue of municipalities. As per the Karnataka Prevention of Incitement to Refuse or Deter Payment of Tax Act, 1981, calling for a refusal of tax leads to 5 years rigorous imprisonment. The inciters for movement also are liable for 5 years' rigorous imprisonment.

On 16-6-2003 an Ordinance was promulgated reducing the tax rate for vacant land. The reduced tax rate for vacant land came into effect retrospectively i.e., from 19-11-2001. Hence the tax to be given for the vacant land is 0.1%. (Rs. 100 per lakh) for the first 10760 sq.ft of vacant land, in the next slab vacant land upto 43040 sq.ft the rate is Rs.25/- for each lakhs and for next slab of vacant land above 43040 sq.ft the rate is Rs.10/- for each lakhs.

Agricultural land is exempted from property tax. But for the buildings constructed on agricultural lands, the value should be fixed based on the built up area and plinth area of the building. If the appurtenant land is used for non-agricultural purpose, property tax should be paid for that also.

If the agricultural land is converted property tax is to be paid. For the first 10760 Sq.ft. of vacant land, for 1 lakh at Rs. 100/-, further for the vacant land upto 43040 Sq.ft. for each lakh at Rs. 25/-, and for the vacant land above 43040 Sq.ft. for each lakh at Rs. 10/- should be calculated and paid.

They should pay tax for each building. The owner of the building should pay tax even for unauthorized building. The officers shall receive the tax remitted by the owner. They should not refuse to receive tax for unauthorized building. The tax officers have the power of levying double the amount of tax for the unauthorized building after making an enquiry.

They should not refuse to receive tax for unauthorized building. The tax officers have the power of levying double the amount of tax for the unauthorized building after making an enquiry. But, if the unauthorized buildings are located on the lands of Government / Municipal/ Forest Department (Public Institution) tax should not be recovered and Form III should not be served to them either.

Yes. Tax has to be imposed on sites at the rate applicable to vacant land and property tax has to be paid as such.

Charitable institutions exempted from taxation have to file the self-assessed property tax returns which should contain details of the charitable institution. If officers come to know regarding any fraud taken place in the name of charity, they can impose tax on enquiry.

Yes. All property owners must pay the property tax and file the returns. All the property owners whether they have khata or not in the old system should pay the tax and file the returns. (Excluding unauthorized buildings situated in Government / Municipal / Forest Department's land).

Khata means Register in Form-MAR19 in which tax is imposed. It is only an account of who is primarily liable to pay property tax, the amount of property tax, arrears of property tax, the details of site and building. A khata does not confer title or ownership . After introduction of Capital value based SAS, Form MAR19 is abolished and Account of property tax is being maintained in Form III.

Khata shows dues of property tax. It is not Record of rights. Land Revenue Department or Survey Department has power to write Record of Rights and Municipality does not write record of rights

Khata means a Register written in Form – 19 imposing property tax (now being written in Form III ). It is insisted in the circular of the Department of Land Revenue that while selling the property, a copy of Form 19 (now Form III ) must be furnished to the Sub Registrar for the assessment of the value of the property. Since the property tax is the first charge on the property, the lending banks used to ask for a copy of khata. For this reason people thought that khata itself is the Record of Rights. After the payment of self assessed property tax, the same shall be entered in property tax register and property tax register should be maintained as per Rule 106.

Tax should be paid on all types of buildings.

Residential->0.6%, Commercial->1.0%, Vacant->0.2%
