The Centre has taken steps to rectify tax demand errors faced by Goans under the Portuguese Civil Code. This move comes after several residents of Goa were issued notices for payment of arrears in property tax, which were calculated based on the code that was in force until 1961 when Goa was liberated. The errors in tax demands have caused distress among the residents, leading to complaints and appeals for resolution. The Centre has recognized the issue and is working towards resolving the discrepancies in tax demands faced by the residents. This development brings relief to many Goans who have been grappling with incorrect tax assessments. The Portuguese Civil Code, which was in effect during the colonial era, has been a source of confusion and financial burden for many residents in Goa. The Centre’s intervention to address these tax demand errors is a positive step towards providing justice and fairness to the affected individuals. By fixing these errors, the government aims to alleviate the financial strain on the residents and ensure that they are not unfairly burdened with incorrect tax liabilities. The efforts to rectify these mistakes demonstrate the government’s commitment to upholding the rights and welfare of the people. Residents of Goa can now look forward to a more transparent and just system of tax assessment, free from the inaccuracies of the past.
