While
cell phones will continue to have four per cent VAT, entry
tax will also not be levied on them, official sources said
here.
Similarly,
computers and laptops would continue to have four per cent
tax but an additional entry tax of two percent will be
levied on them, they said.
The
state cabinet, on September 19, had proposed 12.5 per cent
tax on cell phones and computers plus two per cent entry
tax leading to state-wide protests by comptuer traders.
The
notification issued yesterday is, however, expected to
relieve mobile and computer dealers and consumers.
