News Update Pangasinan reviews taxes

LINGAYEN -The Sangguniang Panlalawigan will reconsider amendments of the provincial ordinance increasing real property taxes because of many complaints.

Earlier, SP member Ranjit R. Shahani said that he is receiving many complaints about the abrupt increase in real property tax from farmers and landowners.

"They claimed that the increase was from 300 to 500 percent," Shahani added. Meanwhile Shahani believed that the tax increase was reasonable because the last adjustment was made about nine years ago yet. (Liezle Basa Inigo )
