Swachh Bharat service tax |
The government of India has identified five "high-end services", including bills in four- and five-star hotels, which will attract additional service tax to fund Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s Swachh Bharat campaign. On the provision of levying up to 2% cess over the 14% service tax, the government is expected to notify an additional 1% levy. The government aims to mop up around Rs 14,000 crores (more than US$ 2.2 billion) annually for the Swachh Bharat Kosh, which includes the 1% cess on the five services, apart from a levy of Rs 200 per ton on coal.
