Hyderabad: State transport operators to step up stir for MV Tax waiver
The transport operators of Telangana on Saturday decided to intensify the agitation demanding waiver of Motor Vehicle (MV) Tax for two quarters for the contract carriage vehicles and Maxi Cabs in view of lockdown
Hyderabad: The transport operators of Telangana on Saturday decided to intensify the agitation demanding waiver of Motor Vehicle (MV) Tax for two quarters for the contract carriage vehicles and Maxi Cabs in view of lockdown.
The decision was taken in the meeting of Telangana State Cabs and Bus Operators Association (TSCBOA) held through a video-conference on Saturday. TSCBOA President Syed Nizamuddin said that despite lack of revenues, all transport operators retained thousands of drivers and other staff by paying salaries even during lockdown. Operators were not in a position to pay advance taxes for the vehicles parked in garages.
He said it was wrong for the government to expect the operators to pay taxes without having any earnings. He demanded the government to consider their demand for waiver of MV Tax for six months which is from April - September 2020 for all the contract carriage vehicles and Maxi Cabs. He said this move would help hundreds of operators from facing total collapse and also save nearly 5-6 lakh direct and indirect jobs.
