Why one pay bribe for small cases too..

Reported on October 9, 2012 from Ahmedabad , Gujarat  ι Report #34126

In Ahmedabad municipal corporation, the Property Taxes structure is too heavy : today to fight economic crises - most of the learned and without job people want to do some business from home like ( teaching , software development, garment, art work ) . The taxes for normal resident is X and if person is doing some commercial activity which does not consume more space, parking, water , power etc are charged 15 X+ and if the same is arranged on rental : it is 30X + .

I do not see any relation with rental or self owned premise for calculating the property tax as the tenant is already paying rent to owner, and owner is paying taxes / service tax to government.

wherever the amount ( legal and official way ) is not justifiable , people will attempt to pay bribe and settle the case at lower amount with open risk.

What is your reaction after reading this report?
