a. Making assessments more systematic and transparent, with any reductions on the grounds <strong>of</strong><br />
poverty being made explicitly and recorded transparently.<br />
b. Clarifying that holding tax can also be levied on non-domestic property, including<br />
structures like mobile phone masts.<br />

Different sources <strong>of</strong> revenue other than holding tax by introducing a training manual<br />

representative, <strong>of</strong>ficials, WDC members, UFT members as well as some citizens <strong>for</strong> promoting<br />
understanding between service delivery and tax payment<br />
For this, give a direction to impose certain ceiling <strong>of</strong> tax on three-wheeled CNGs, mobile towers,<br />
advertisements (bill-boards), coaching centres, tutorials, private clinics and hospitals, community<br />
centres etc; impose fees <strong>for</strong> particular services rendered, as well as rural electricity, pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
varieties, leasing <strong>of</strong> government land <strong>for</strong> tree plantation, extraction <strong>of</strong> sand, stone and other<br />
building materials; impose charges <strong>for</strong> services that the <strong>UP</strong> provides directly to beneficiaries and<br />
impose fines <strong>for</strong> late payment <strong>of</strong> arrear taxes.<br />
6. Simplifying the classification <strong>of</strong> businesses while also making the list more<br />
comprehensive, to include all services, pr<strong>of</strong>essions and NGOs, introducing a simple and obvious<br />
classification <strong>of</strong> business size, to reflect ability to pay, thereby improving equity as well as<br />
increasing the revenue that can be generated and allowing a limited range <strong>of</strong> choice <strong>for</strong> the <strong>UP</strong><br />
