KARACHI: The Excise and Taxation Department has completed its survey in West District, after which owners of a number of residential and commercial buildings were included in the tax net.
According to details, around 129 tax defaulters have been advised to pay their taxes by September 10. During the four-day survey by the Excise and Taxation Department, a number of residential and commercial buildings, plots and factories were examined and notices were issued to the defaulters on the spot. However, some defaulters were granted a month to clear their outstanding dues.
According to sources, the department will also start a survey in other parts of Karachi for collection of property tax. The Excise and Taxation Department started its survey form West District, as the owners of many factories and commercial and residential buildings in this particular administrative unit had not paid their property tax.
