07/01/2021 07:08 PM

KUALA PILAH, Jan 7 -- The Kuala Pilah District Council (MDKP) is aiming to achieve an assessment tax collection of RM5.5 million by year-end.

President Mohd Faizal Abdul Manap said this followed the council's success in surpassing the target set by the state government last year with RM5.2 million in assessment taxes collected.

“The RM5.2 million collection constituted 94.58 per cent of the total assessment tax for 2020 compared with RM4.9 million or 89.52 per cent in 2019. This is a commendable achievement.

“Assessment tax arrears collection increased to RM689,756, or 38.7 per cent of the total arrears, from RM420,766 or 24.46 per cent in 2019,” he told reporters after officiating the council's Kuala Pilah Drive-Thru Counter here today.

Also present were the state Urban Wellbeing, Housing, Local Government and New Villages Action Committee chairman Teo Kok Seong and Pilah State Assemblyman Mohamad Nazaruddin Sabtu.

Mohd Faizal said the drive-thru counter, which would be open from 9 am to 4 pm on weekdays and 9 am to 12.45 pm on Saturday, would also help towards achieving the collection target.

“Each assessment taxpayer is eligible for a lucky draw at the end of the year and stands to win electrical products,” he added.

Earlier, 22 individuals were sworn in as the new Kuala Pilah council members.
