The following mail was sent by a member of a different Y-group with reference to Property tax on apartment complexes. I am not aware of any inspector or official having raised this point yet.
Now, the idea of the SBA in apartment complexes is to account for all the common areas and apportion them amongst the apartments in proportion to their respective floor areas. As such, it is not clear why this specific provision has been introduced other than to cause confusion. Does any one know of any instance where this matter has come up? Muralidhar Rao. Dear All The SAS Handbook 2008-09 to 2010-11 Page 3 Annexure-1 Table 1 section b reads as follows " In respect of apartments/flats the owner or occupier and such other person like the Apartment Association, Society etc who administer the common facilities like manager office,club house swimming pool canteen,health club gym etc shall file a return and pay property tax for such areas ( facility area )" This seems to imply that the association will have to file separately and also that individual apartments need to file on an actual apartment area basis and not on the SBA. This information may have to extracted from the sale deed/ deed of declaration Can the MC please look into this? Is the association preparing to file separately for common areas? It will be best if we can persuade the authorities to allow us to file on the basis of SBA and waive the separate filing by the association. That however may be required in writing. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Citizens' Action Forum" group.
