Dear Venita, It is my experience that those who do something in our community are much maligned by by-standers. Please take no heed of such people. I decided a long time ago, that I have to be like a horse. Put on a good pair of blinders and carry on. It is easy for people to malign others. It

[Goanet] House Tax Puzzle

2012-05-14 Thread augusto pinto
The Goa Govt. in the last Assembly session announced that the House Tax would be removed. Obviously it is a populist move as nobody likes to pay taxes. Still I was a little puzzled about this as there was no great demand for its removal as the poor who were most affected by it would simply not

A puzzle indeed.  Certainly not a populist move, since most people pay a paltry sum for annual house tax.  The older the home, the lower the tax.  In my village, most homes pay less than Rs. 100/- per annum in house tax.  In US or Canadian dollars that would be less than 2 Dollars per year.
