Land Tax Accordin to its Utility

To,
The Chief Minister, Bihar

Date: - 03 January 2014

Subject:-Regarding blanket increase in land tax

Sir,
The new land tax on 1st January 2014 is not fair as there are only three tax slabs i.e. fully commercial, residential and others. It may be reminded that there is land other than the aforesaid three categories. There is land which is neither commercial nor residential. There is no mention about the exemption for land unused or disputed. Why should people pay tax if they are not using the land either way? Why should people pay tax if their land is unused anyway due to legal dispute and snail-paced judicial system? Why should the people pay fully commercial tax if they are using the land for residential purposes? If one has inherited the land at fully commercial zone and has no other place to live, what is their fault and why should they pay fully commercial tax. The land tax must be corroborated to the income tax file of the people. The new tax slab would rob the people of fundamental right to live anywhere in the country as the helpless and poor would be in huge debt resulting in snatching the land by government. This would bring forced commercialization of simple thinking and moral living persons.
The government is already collecting various taxes for water, road, electricity sewerage, commercial establishment, hoarding, offices, institutions and lot more; the land tax should be somehow optional. If the government wants to practice communism, then it should improve dispensation and then rob the people of entire moveable and immovable properties.  
There are many aspects of taxing land but they all have not been taken into consideration which is sure to boomerang during crucial political time.
During upcoming election the recently launched tax table could become major factor of embarrassment.
I therefore, appeal you to reconsider the extorting new tax rule.

I attach the new tax table.

Copy to all honorable recipients;
