Ampang Jaya folk say tax hikes unjustified

Ani says the tax increase would add RM14mil to MPAJ’s coffers, on top of its current annual collection of RM85mil.

THE planned assessment tax hike in Ampang Jaya, Selangor, has drawn criticism from ratepayers who question if the quality of the local council’s service justifies the increase.

During its full board meeting on Thursday, Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) announced a revaluation exercise that would increase the rate by up to 25% for unaltered or unmodified properties.
