LOK SABHA
The Committee for
Development of Entertainment Sector, which was constituted at
the 24th Conference of Information Ministers of State
and Union Territories on 21.01.2001, has recommended that all
States/Union Territory administrations should fix a ceiling
of 60 per cent on entertainment tax. The recommendations have
been circulated to all States/UTs for obtaining their views.
The objective was that for all round development of film industry,
States/UTs may consider rationalising of rates of entertainment
tax so that a uniform structure prevails in the country.
This was stated
by the Minister of Information and Broadcasting, Shri Ravi Shankar
Prasad in written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today.
