Dimapur, April 23 (MExN): ACAUT Nagaland has appealed to all the Naga Political Groups (NPGs) to work toward the “much desired” One Government One Tax (OGOT). In a statement, ACAUT expressed appreciation to the NSCN (IM) for making changes in the taxation pattern.
“It is without exaggeration that the Naga public are undergoing untold misery with the rampant multiple taxation directly or indirectly, and therefore the decision of the Collective Leadership of the NSCN (IM) to make changes in the Taxation pattern in view of the plight of the common people is a matured and a responsible one and a step in the right direction,” a press release from the Media Cell, ACAUT stated.
“In any nation building the voice of the people reigns supreme and it’s only right that the NSCN (IM) heeds this voice,” ACAUT stated while appreciating the “sensitivity and the concern” shown towards the woes of the general public.
Terming OGOT as the “dream of the Nagas”, ACAUT called for “complete rethink” of the whole taxation system prevalent in the state. “The scrapping of the ‘Syndicate’ system should be the beginning of much needed change,” ACAUT stated and appealed to all NPGs to “work toward this dream of the Nagas”.
