So many ways of explaining that.
Energy conservation tax, is similar to the implementation of water conservation tax. They will tax a percentage of what you use. In water's case, it's 30% (and there is a waterborne fee that is almost another 30%, which I do not know what this waterborne fee is about, and thus we pay up to 60% more for every 100% water we use)
It is to help the poor.

I guess this increase in property tax is to help the property owners.
We have a very caring government.

We are not even asset rich lor. The pathetic small hdb flat that we stay need us to pay every month for 20 to 30 years and even after that, we only own it for 99 years. -

meaning?Maybe by 99 years the PAP will no longer be in power and the new government will allow us to own our hdb flat forever..

Actually after 50 years the rebar will start to corrode and expand, weakening the structure.
Then they give you the option to purchase a new flat by topping up more money.

So what happen if you tell them you got no money to top up to buy a new flat?

Think they refund you some money, don't know how much, but it's definitely below market value.
Maybe it's the amount that HDB sold to first buyer.

Can a Taiwanese "hum" be neutral - when its obviously had one part of the "hum" hanging on one side of its cockle shell ?Obviously, some cock in the cockle shell must be probing the "hum" to have one part hanging out onto one side of the cockle shell.

Hello, i had tried one month without using any electricity and water or any other utilities so to speak, i went back to taiwan, but they still charge me with a Power supply bills, with Gst too. So, what conservative are you talking about???If you cannot differentiate between "conservation" and "conservative" do you deserve not to be charged during your absence when nobody missed the idiocy of a "hum" ?
For a "conservative" hum" - it will know when to get into a "conservation" mode and stop wasting its idiocy to spam itself in unproductive work which is best left to a "hum" that is designed to be mischevious and flippant.
Obviously, the Taiwanese "hum" is not a "conservative" hum who knows anything about "conservations" but will engage others i continous irrelevant conversations.

In Australia, they don't even need to pay Property Tax (Land Tax) for owner occupied property.
In Singapore, despite the exorbitant HDB prices they charge you, they still require that you pay a concessionary owner occupied property tax.
The PAP government are greedy suckers, any money they see, they want.
How else do you think they have such high reserves? It's all taxed from her citizens.
What land is exempt?
Principal place of residence
Your principal place of residence is generally exempt from land tax. You can usually only claim an exemption for a principal place of residence on one property.
