The MSME Council in Mysuru has urged the government to resolve the long-standing dispute over tax structure levied by the gram panchayats and other local bodies as it was at odds with the State government’s policy of promoting industries in rural areas.
The issue has gained fresh traction with the Gram Panchayats levying tax at a rate that is almost four-fold the tax imposed in the city corporation limits in Mysuru.
The MSME Council has now written to the Chief Minister, the Minister for Industries and the Deputy Commissioner of Mysuru to intervene and resolve the issue as the tax structure was becoming unstainable and also did not commensurate with the services and civic amenities provided to industries in return for tax collected, by the Gram Panchayats.
