“On the domestic LPG cylinders, the State Government levy a tax of 55% whereas the Central Government’s tax is just 5%”
What FACTLY found
The domestic LPG cylinders fall under the 5% GST (CGST – 2.5% + SGST – 2.5%) slab. The Central and the State governments do not levy separate taxes of their own on the LPG cylinders. There is no basis for the claim that the State government impose a tax of 55% on the LPG cylinders. The numbers given in the post regarding the dealer’s commission are also not correct. The dealer/distributor’s commission is Rs. 61.84 on a 14.2 kg LPG gas cylinder
