While the Finance Minister has asked Parliament to approve some tax increases, a caller on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show has revealed his pain in trying to pay property rates.
John, from La Dade-Kotopon, in his reaction to the Finance Minister’s announcement, disclosed that for three months, he has gone to the Municipal Assembly’s office to pay his property tax but is always told the officer in charge is not there.
