Jaipur: The increase in fuel prices has weighed on household budgets in the state that has the highest tax levies on car fuel in this country.
The state government seizes the highest VAT in the country on gasoline and diesel.
Vehicles entering or traveling through the state avoid buying fuel due to high rates that cause tax loss to the government.
Sunit Like, President of the Petroleum dealer association, said, “The state loses 30% of the sale of fuel cars because of high taxes compared to neighboring countries.
Passenger vehicles and goods operators filled in other countries before entering Rajasthan because the tariff is cheaper.
On the other hand , the country charges ordinary people to compensate for the loss.
“The state government reduced VAT on gasoline and diesel in February this year by 2%.
After a reduction, the chairman of the minister and other political leaders in the country blamed the high fuel center.
In fact, even after reducing VAT tariffs on gasoline and diesel respectively by 36% and 26%, existing taxes are still higher than other states in this country.
Besides VAT, the Cess road also needs to be reduced, said like.
The increase in diesel prices increases the level of each other commodity because the transportation costs rise.
In its part, the center has refused the pressure so far to reduce the central tax on fuel.
Instead of reducing taxes, he tried to bring fuel under GST.
