Motor vehicle tax recovery campaign to begin from October 15

Sindh Minister for Excise and Taxation Mukesh Kumar Chawla said that motor vehicle tax recovery campaign will be launched from October 15, 2012, instead of September 24. The cause of delay is heavy rains in the province, said an official statement here.
For recovery campaign 13 teams have been constituted in Karachi while in other parts of the province the teams will work under Excise and Taxation Officers (ETOs) concerned, the Excise Minister said while talking to a group of media men here at his camp office on Sunday.
He said that due to heavy rains in Sindh, it was not feasible to start motor vehicle tax recovery campaign on September 24 because we want to achieve the targeted results. During this campaign, the vehicle will be impounded and released after the tax and fine are paid, he said. Mukesh Kumar Chawla asked owners of the vehicles to pay the due taxes timely to avoid strict legal action. Timely recovery of taxes would enable the Government to complete development projects in time. He told that during July 2012, Rs 257 million were received as motor vehicle tax while in July 2012, Rs 329 million were received in head of property tax.
