<\/p>\n

Expressing serious concern over the \u201cexcessive taxation\u201d imposed on timber-laden trucks plying between Kiphire and Dimapur by NPGs and government departments, the Nagaland Timber Traders\u2019 Union (NTTU) urged upon NPGs to impose only \u201csingle central tax\u201d by removing the taxes at the \u201cregional\u201d and \u201cother levels\u2019\u201d. <\/div>\n
In a press note, NTTU president, Kevise Sogotsu, said the members resolved this during the executive meeting of the union on January 21. <\/div>\n
NTTU asked the NPGs, whether solution to the Naga political problem can be found in Kiphire district, taking into the account of the excess tax levied in the district.  Since Nagas have been given ownership of the land and that resources belong to the people under Article 371 (A), the NTTU said no NPG or state government agency has the right to impose tax on any produce such as paddy, vegetable or timer produced or grown in one\u2019s field or forest. <\/div>\n
NTTU also questioned the forest department for its silent on the tax being imposed at various check gates by police and excise, when timber falls within its ambit. <\/div>\n
Therefore, NTTU has urged the Naga public to rise up and curb the taxation menace which is destroying Naga society. <\/div>\n
While highlighting the details of taxation levied per truck by NPGs and others from Kiphire to Dimapur, the NTTU said, if taxation at this rate is allowed to continue then many Naga families, who depend on timber and timber business for livelihood would die of starvation after paying all taxes.<\/div>\n
