The Tripura Land Tax Act, 1978 regulates the assessment, levy, and collection of land tax across the State of Tripura. It applies to families owning agricultural or non-agricultural land, treating a family's aggregate land holdings as the basis for taxation, with members held jointly and severally liable. Taxes are calculated based on agricultural profits or land market values according to prescribed schedules and paid in installments. By establishing procedural guidelines for land declarations, re-assessment, default penalties, and an independent appellate tribunal, the legislation provides a structured system for state revenue while offering dispute resolution options for property owners.
