Answer for Oral Question PL120

QUESTION​

Yang Berhormat Pengiran Haji Isa bin Pengiran Haji Aliuddin​

YANG BERHORMAT PENGIRAN HAJI ISA BIN PENGIRAN HAJI ALIUDDIN requests the MINISTER HAL EHWAL DALAM NEGERI to state whether there has been any coordination between the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Development regarding assessment tax imposed on housing owners under the strata scheme, particularly for housing that has not yet obtained strata title but has been charged assessment tax based on strata rates rather than on the basis of land area.

ANSWER​

Yang Berhormat Menteri Hal Ehwal Dalam Negeri​

It is clarified that under Section 12 of the Municipal Boards Act, Chapter 57, assessment tax is imposed on the owners of land, houses and buildings located within the areas of the Municipal Boards.

For housing located within the areas of the Municipal Boards, assessment tax assessments will be carried out under Section 12 of the Municipal Boards Act, regardless of whether the housing has been granted strata title or is still in the process of obtaining it.

In the Bandar Seri Begawan Municipal Board area, there are 9 land lots comprising 188 strata units, while in the Belait Municipal Board area, there are 2 land lots comprising 92 strata units. The majority of these are rented residential units, with only one commercial unit.

The Government will also continue to ensure that local tax administration is carried out fairly and systematically, while taking into consideration the requirements for the management of municipal services and sustainable urban development.
