Governor Arif Mohammed Khan has approved tabling of the Kerala General Sales Tax (Amendment) Bill which aims to increase by four per cent the Kerala GST on foreign liquor to make up for the loss of revenue due to exemption of the five per cent turnover tax levied on distilleries making and selling foreign liquor in the State. The sales tax on liquor will touch 251 per cent with the proposed hike.
The advisory committee has proposed adjourning of the Assembly session on December 13. The session was scheduled till December 15. The decision to adjourn the session early was taken as several of the members would be travelling to Qatar to watch the final matches of the FIFA World Cup.
