Your Ringtone May Soon Ring In More Tax For State

The state revenue department has recommended that entertainment tax be levied on services like mobile ringtones, caller tunes and mobile music. Cybercafes and video theatres are also likely to be brought within the ambit of entertainment tax.

State revenue minister Narayan Rane said the recommendation will be tabled before the cabinet in the next three months.

More than 20 such recommendations and suggestions relating to the revenue department were listed for "immediate implementation" during a meeting of divisional commissioners and district collectors here, Rane told mediapersons on Friday. "A timebound programme is being initiated to frame the final proposals of these recommendations."

Rane said details like tax calculation and tax payment would be worked out soon. He claimed that the use of cybercafes and video theatres as well as of mobile caller tunes and mobile music was on the rise.

Other recommendations that were thrown up during the meeting included changes in the land acquisition process for fast approval and disbursement of compensation, changes in the talathi manual, conferring of additional powers to collectors and divisional commissioners, e-governance in every district in the state, and additional staff for handling the work of domicile and caste certificates.

Rane also urged the revenue officers to ensure an increase in per capita income, 100 per cent literacy, elimination of malnutrition and curbing corruption at work.
