moving the idea of tax he said that the state has decided
to give priority to the development of Human Resources and
infrastructure for the balanced economic and social

As
per the proposal there will be addition of one paisa in
the tax rate of goods which are being taxed at the rate of
4 paisa in the rupee presently. In other taxable goods
there will be addition of 2.5 paisa. However this will not
apply to petrol, diesel, declared goods and exempted
goods.
The

and retain professional tax. At present these bodies were
collecting professional tax on behalf of the state
government which was given to civic bodies as collection
charge. This amounts to Rs.120 crore.
