Wealth in a comprehnesive manner includes Property, land, Gold, cash, etc.. as specified under the ACt.

Yes somewhat it is a multiple levy of tax.But you can avoid this if you have two properties. One property of your choice whihc has higher market value can be claimed as exempt undr th Wealth tax and tax on other property shall be elvied provided that the value of teh property exceeds Rs 30lacs.

Just like in INdia when making payment for professional fees we deduct tax at source & then make the balacne pymt to teh party same way is the term witholding tax.
