Self-assessment scheme
MA Azim, Uttara Model Town, Dhaka.
By now, all the city dwellers might have received Dhaka City Corporation's notice enclosing therewith Form 'A' and Form 'B' for self-assessment of holding tax. Form'A' stipulates obligatory provision for payment of a fine up to an amount of Tk 2,000, and in the event of failure to submit form 'B' within 15 days of receipt of the notice, an additional fine of Tk. 100.00 for each day of delay over 15 days. What an arbitrary decision for imposition of fines ! Do you think imposition of such a fine is lawful?As for subsequent developments, the less said, the better. In a complicated form like this one, it is most likely that some incorrect information may creep in inadvertently . May I invite comments from your readers, particularly the house-owners of the city, on this issue.
