Valuation Division: Submit forms from tomorrow

In advertisements, the division apologised to the public for any inconvenience caused when the data collection exercise was suspended.

Legal challenges by the Opposition halted the exercise until the Appeal Court last week overturned Justice Frank Seepersad’s orders on the process, advising Government to properly inform the public that the procedure is voluntary and that there are no penalties.

The division complied yesterday assuring submission was voluntary.

It also said, “Failure to submit the valuation return forms and or supporting documents and the choice not to supply all the information requested during the period of this data collection exercise will not attract any sanctions.” The division said forms can be collected at any of its offices, head office at the Ministry of Finance or downloaded from the website www.finance.gov.tt/propertytax. And also listed the documents which may be handed in
