While merging the data base before 2016, the officials tried posting the tax for a whole year however, the system would still reflect that of half a year, the letter sent to the IKM shows. While the corporation is updating records of around 4.5 lakh tax assessments and even though service cess is being calculated in the city corporation along with property tax for the past three years, the software has no facility to add service cess in buildings which were assessed before service cess came into effect. References to similar communications in the past had also been mentioned in the letter sent on October 15. During the tenure of the previous council, the corporation had highlighted the issues and glitches in IKM software but to no avail. The city corporation had also sent a letter to the Information Kerala Mission on October 15, flagging glaring shortcomings in the IKM software. Unless the city corporation gets a way to assess and calculate dues based on the old system of tax assessment for buildings for the period before 2016-17, actual dues may still remain unclear. The software does not have an option to assess buildings based on annual rental value before this period. The software allows assessment of tax only with effect from 2016-17.
