Trinidad people will pay tax on dog house fowl pen, duck pond or any structure on their land, says Finance Minister Colm Imbert.

Trinidad Express:–  Property owners will have to pay for any dog house, fowl pen, duck pond or any structure on their land, says Finance Minister Colm Imbert.

Government yesterday moved closer with its plan to commence the collection of property taxes as it completed the parliamentary process of having legislation to effect this with the House approving the Senate’s amendments to The Valuation of Land (Amendment) Bill, 2018 and The Property Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2018.

These Bills will now be sent to President Paula-Mae Weekes for assent and it will become law. The collection of property taxes is expected to commence after the Valuation Division of the Ministry of Finance has completed 50 per cent of assessment of properties in Trinidad and Tobago.
