Usually, revenue generated through local councils is less than what is required for development or even less than what is needed for recurrent expenditure. Revenue collection is a tough task in Kohlu. The area is of tribal nature where people do not like to give a rupee to the government, specially against whom their fathers have waged a civil war and which is still opposed by their tribal elders. Officials blame the public for non-payment of taxes, but the public demands more and more facilities. Tax culture is non-existent in Kohlu. People take every facility for granted and expect that the government should provide them every facility without paying any cost. This trend is widespread in Kohlu. By having the status of a political agency, Kohlu is exempted from levy of some taxes, like motor vehicle tax and arms license fee.
