教会地税暴涨2400%:国阵选前选后两个样,倪可汉挑战国阵跟随民联利民政策

甘文阁中华基督教会

去年一度闹得沸沸扬扬逼使教会缴付高额门牌税否则将拍卖教会资产事件今年又再延续其坎坷命运,地税由原本22令吉飙升至538令吉,暴涨幅度高达2446%。

魏亚明(坐右)和陈爱英(坐左)向倪可汉(中)投诉教会所面对的问题

一众教会会友在由教会执事会主席魏亚明和传道陈爱英率领下到实兆远州议员服务中心向实兆远州议员拿督倪可汉投诉这起事项,并希望州政府可以通融降低地税。

2012年教会地税只有22令吉

2014年教会地税高达538令吉

陈爱英出示文件显示,2012年之前教会的地税一直以来都是22令吉,但从2013年开始教会地税暴涨至538令吉,顿时加了2000多巴仙令教会无法接受。也是木威区国会议员的倪可汉指出,事情会演变成这样的关键是去年505大选前中华基督教会所面对的门牌税问题,在事情闹大上报后,马华时任霹雳州行政议员拿督马汉顺向州政府豁免该教会1万2千632令吉门牌税,并由马华支付1千令吉把教会的农业地转换成宗教地用途。

倪可汉说,大选前国阵州政府跟随民联的利民政策,给予非盈利机构和宗教场所豁免门牌税和征收象征性40令吉地税。现在大选过了,国阵州政府向他们开刀,向非盈利机构和宗教场所征收高额地税,选前选后完全变了样,让他们不知所措!这证明国阵没有诚意实行民联的利民政策,只会在大选之前做戏暂时扮演爱民如子的戏码。

倪可汉挑战霹雳州务大臣和马华霹雳州主席马汉顺,继续跟随民联执政时所实行给予非盈利机构和宗教场所豁免门牌税和征收象征性40令吉地税利民政策。

土地发展税使房价上涨

文告

霹雳州国阵政府向在霹雳州新发展的屋业和产业征收每单位大约5万令吉至10万令吉的发展税。呼吁霹雳州政府废除这项发展税。

只获得少数人支持的国阵霹雳州政府最近才虚伪地宣布将会着手展开兴建平民屋让人民受惠,但另一边厢,州政府才在201411日宣布向在霹雳的新屋子或房产征收每单位大约5万令吉至10万令吉发展税。这巨额的发展税增加了人民的负担,使到多数人民无法有能力拥有称之为家的房子。以上所说的发展税其实是附加在现有的农业地转换至商业地的地价税(premium)

国阵霹雳州政府根据1976年城市和规划法已经通过霹雳州最新的发展税,这已在201411日正式生效。

                       
1.转换土地发展税                                   土地价值上升25%

2.转换密度开发税                                   土地价值上升25%
           
3.更改楼层和面积税                               土地价值上升25%


举个例子,一块有潜能发展的农业地原价是100万令吉,若是发展商要把农业地转换成商业或屋业发展地段时,其价值将会升值至500万令吉,政府从400万令吉的差价抽取25%的土地发展税即100万令吉。由于一英亩土地只能兴建12间排屋,平均每间房子需多缴付83千令吉发展税给地方政府。在国阵霹雳州政府这项发展税下,每单位视乎土地转换的差价发展税平均增加了5万令吉至10万令吉。

在霹雳州,若是房产发展计划的土地是10英亩或更多,发展商必须兴建20%一间价值42千令吉的廉价屋,另外20%一间价值7万令吉的平民屋。在这项新政策下,发展商是无法兴建如此低廉的廉价屋和平民屋。


我希望霹雳州政府可以马上废除这项新发展税。如果政府治理得好,州政府还是将会有足够的资金,尤其是霹雳州政府的收入从2008年的6亿令吉增加了50%2013年的超过9亿令吉。

最重要的是,自从200926日国阵抢夺政权后,国阵霹雳州政府在没有公开招标的情况下批准了12万英亩土地,这些土地多数批给朋党,让州政府损失了20亿令吉。国阵霹雳州政府无需增加任何税务下,其实可以安稳地把20亿令吉存入州库。

BN Perak government hefty new development charges

MEDIA STATEMENT


Perak BN Government to impose new development charge estimated to be between RM50,000-00 to RM100,000-00 per unit of house or property for any new development in Perak. Call on Perak Government to have it abolished.
__________________________________________________

The BN Perak State Government who has only the minority support of Perakians was hypocritical when it announced recently that it will embark on building affordable homes for the people.

In fact the BN Perak State Government had just imposed as from 1st January 2014 a development charge/tax of between RM50,000-00 to RM100,000-00 on a new house or property in Perak making it the biggest burden Perakians have to bear in the increasing environment of price hike making it almost impossible for many people in Perak to own a house which they can call their home.

The abovesaid development charge is in addition to the present land conversion premium which developers have to pay when converting agricultural lands into housing and/or commercial developments.

The BN Perak Government has approved under the Town And Planning Act 1976 the Development Charge State of Perak Rules 2013, which imposes the following new development charges with effect from 1/1/2014.

1.     Change of Land Use
Development charge                           - 25% x increase in land value

2.      Change in Density
Development charge                           -25% x increase in land value

3.      Change of Floor, Area
Development charge                           -25% x increase in land value

For example, if the initial value of a property under the category of agricultural which has the potential to be developed is worth RM1,000,000-00 and its value  increased to RM5,000,000-00 upon conversion to housing or commercial development, a sum of RM1,000,000-00 will be imposed as development charge i.e 25% of the increased value of RM4,000,000-00. Only about 12 units of terrace house can be constructed on an acre of land. Therefore, the development charge imposed by the BN Perak Government to be collected by the local government will be about RM83,000-00 per unit. Depending on the appreciation of the land value upon conversion, the development charge imposed will be between RM50,000-00 to RM100,000-00 per unit.



In Perak if the land size is 10 acres or more, developers will be required to build 20% low cost priced at RM42,000-00 per unit and another 20% medium low cost units price at RM72,000-00 per unit. It will be impossible for low and medium low costs to be built in view of the new development charge.



I call on the Perak Government to abolish the newly imposed development charge immediately. If the Government govern prudently, there will be more than sufficient funds as the Government yearly revenue has increased by more than 50% from about RM600 million in 2008 to more than RM900 million in 2013.

More importantly, the Perak State Government lost about RM2.0 billion when it approved about 120,000 acres of land since BN’s power grab on 6/2/2009 to mainly cronies without the more transparent open tender system. BN Perak Government will not need to increase any form of tax had this additional RM2.0 billion be added to the state’s coffer.

Dated this  11th   day of  February 2014.
