Petitioners Challenge Entertainment Tax on Online Booking, Citing 1939 Tamil Nadu Act's Lack of Internet Provisions.

May 29, 2020

Case Laws     VAT and Sales Tax     HC

Levy of Entertainment tax - online booking charges - The petitioners have pointed out that the internet and online facility of booking could not have been envisaged in 1939 when the Tamil Nadu Entertainment Tax Act was enacted as a result that a charge in this regard will necessarily stand outside the ambit of ‘entertainment’ - the enactment provides for the State to levy a tax on entertainment and such an enactment is expected to be dynamic and take within its stride all progress in avenues of entertainment including facilities incidental and ancillary thereto, such as, in the present case, ticketing and booking facilities.
