Property taxpayers in Punjab can now benefit from the government’s five per cent rebate offer for payment of tax before October.

The Excise and Taxation Department’s Deputy Director, Khalid Hussain Qasoori, said that the Punjab government had announced rebate offer for those made full payments of property tax for the ongoing financial year.

Qasoori urged business owners and citizens to benefit from the scheme as there is less than a week left for the offer to expire.

The notices have been issued to taxpayers who are eligible for this five per cent rebate scheme. Those interested citizens are advised to pay the property taxes before September 30.

For those who are eligible but did not receive the tax notice for some reason can also download and pay.

Qasoori said that the citizens are paying taxes on “large scale” by availing the rebate offer. The public is also being educated regarding the benefits of this scheme through banners placed at different areas and on social media.

The total property tax for this fiscal year is over Rs1.22 billion.
