Closure Of Public Consultation On Draft Property Tax (Amendment) Bill 2004
 
BACKGROUND

1. A public consultation exercise on the draft Property Tax (Amendment) Bill 2004 was held from 15 July 2004 to 11 August 2004 to obtain feedback on areas of the draft legislation that require greater clarity or could be modified to facilitate compliance by companies and taxpayers.

2. The draft Property Tax (Amendment) Bill 2004 incorporates all amendments to the Property Tax Act relating to the following tax changes:

a. Facilitation of electronic transactions via IRAS's new system IRIN
b. Appointment of Deputy Chairmen for the Valuation Review Board
c. Repeal of Section 8 on the incentive for Energy Conservation

3. The summary table lists all the tax changes and explains the amendments to the Property Tax Act.


COMMENTS AND FOLLOW-UP ACTIONS FROM THE CONSULTATION EXERCISE

4. MOF did not receive any feedback from the public consultation exercise. As such, the current draft Property Tax (Amendment) Bill 2004 will be tabled to Parliament in October 2004 without any changes.

5. We will continue the practice of consulting the public before finalising the amendments to our income tax laws. We look forward to receiving constructive feedback from the public.
