Govt has legal option to tax based on land size
I REFER to the letter from Mr Goh Ching Soon ("Make property tax more equitable"; Wednesday).
The current law gives the option to the authorities to tax the land if the situation calls for it.
Our Master Plan controls the plot ratio of lands, so a bungalow plot may not house that many apartments.
The Government introduced a progressive property tax regime which perhaps can address some of the issues raised by Mr Goh.
