MoALI to confiscate vacant lands for overdue tax

The Union Minister for Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation stated at the central committee meeting on 1 February that the ministry would confiscate vacant, fallow and virgin lands in line with the law if the owners failed to pay tax promptly.
If owners falter in paying taxes once the tax exemption period expires or do not follow regulations, they may forfeit both the security fees and the land. Additionally, they could be subject to legal action.
The government grants vacant land permits for agriculture, livestock, mining and other official businesses.
Owners are required to start their proposed business to full capacity within the specified timeframe. Farmlands are barred from infrastructural use since they are vital for food security. — TWA/NT
