Traders’ help sought to meet tax target

KOCHI: Finance Minister T.M. Thomas Isaac has said that tax collection is below target and vigorous efforts are being made to achieve the target.

The Minister, speaking at an interactive session organised by the Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry here on Friday, sought the cooperation of the business community for meeting the target. The practical difficulties relating to levy and administration of tax faced by taxpayers would receive due consideration and remedial measures would be taken where possible, he said.

K.A. Soman, Deputy Commissioner, Commercial taxes, Mattancherry, and Julius Smith, Deputy Commissioner (Intelligence), were present. R. Mohandas, president of the chamber; Anilkumar N. Prabhu, vice-president; and taxation committee chairman N. Radhakrishnan spoke.
