Erik Marais, ervare eiendomswaardeerder, se standpunt dat \u2019n groot persentasie van die 2020 munisipale eiendomswaardasies onbillik en onregverdig was, is onlangs bevestig toe die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit \u2019n onafhanklike arbiter aangestel het om die waardasies te hersien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Marais het die munisipale bestuur aan hom erken dat die landelike eiendomme se waardasies ernstige gebreke toon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is konserwatief met slegs 9% gemiddeld verhoog in 2020, teenoor residensi\u00eble waardasies wat met 20% verhoog is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is na sy mening inkonsekwent en het daartoe aanleiding gegee dat die munisipaliteit sowat R30 miljoen landelike eiendomsbelasting per jaar verloor en dat residensi\u00eble eienaars swaarder belas word om die boeke te laat klop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar is nou \u2019n voorstel dat die landelike gebied in geheel aan \u2019n herwaardasie onderwerp moet word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die waardasies het bygedra tot \u2019n onbillike belastingverdeling en hy is van mening dat die raad \u2019n morele plig het om die gebrek reg te stel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marais s\u00ea hy moes herhaaldelik die probleme uitwys voordat die munisipaliteit dit begin ondersoek het. Drakenstein het in 2021 \u2019n verlaging van slegs 2% in eiendomsbelasting toegepas wat \u2019n effektiewe verhoging van 18% in residensi\u00eble eiendomsbelasting veroorsaak het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In teenstelling daarmee het die buurdorpe Stellenbosch en Worcester hul residensi\u00eble belastingkoers met 20,7% en 20,8% verlaag, n\u00e1 hul algemene waardasies in 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marais het die Paarl Belastingbetalersvereniging (PBBV) se jaarvergadering onlangs oor die kwessie toegespreek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het die bestuur van die PBBV gevra om die munisipaliteit te versoek om, ter wille van deursigtigheid, die uitkoms van die verslag met die gewone belastingbetalers te deel en dat die bestuur se verklaarde beleid om \u2019n oplossing vir die probleem te vind, herbevestig word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die belastingbetalersvereniging het die onbillike eiendomsbelastingverhogings van gemiddeld 18% vir residensi\u00eble eienaars in 2021 gekritiseer, wat daartoe bygedra het dat \u2019n 0%-verhoging in die 2022-\u201923 munisipale begroting daarna toegepas is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar word nou gehoop dat \u2019n herwaardasie van landelike eiendomme gedoen sal word nadat die ondersoek deur die arbiter afgehandel is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bradley Brown, finansi\u00eble hoof van Drakenstein-munisipaliteit, het op navrae hieroor reageer en bevestig dat die munisipaliteit \u2019n onafhanklike arbiter aangestel het. Hy ontken wel sekere van Marais se bevindings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
