Service Tax Elevates from June 1
Budget
2015 announced hike in service tax from 12.36% to 14%. The increase which is
effective from June 01, implies shelling out more for services like travelling,
banking, insurance and even eating out.
Reportedly,
the Modi Government had proposed to raise the service tax to 14% with the
objective to facilitate a smooth transition to the
Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, which the government wants to roll out
from April 2016. Once implemented, GST will subsume service tax, excise and
other local levies.
