Dear Team,
My brother and myself owned a property in chennai in our name.
Due to some financial difficulties, we have some thousands due for Property taxes.
Metro water completely paid.
We partitioned the property in the year 2010. Now my brother is showing No interest in paying the dues.
I raised partition wall. each one is having shop(let out)in ground floor of this house.
Kindly advise how to resolve; Corporation tax collected asking us whether to attach the rent for both of them for recovery.

Tax claimed is joint treating as if the property is having one unit. It is better to make representation to the municipality to allot two separate units and in future claim taxes accordingly. so far as past taxes are concerned, resolve it mutually or do as already advised by ajay.
