India´s Madras high court has decided to hold the 30% entertainment tax on DTH services in Tamil Nadu province of the country which is being welcomed by the DTH players.
R.C. Venkateish, CEO of Dish TV, said that the company hopes that the Tamil Nadu Government ensures an early compliance of the order, as the entertainment tax levied on the DTH industry exerts undue pressure on operating efficiencies compared to cable TV operators.
Salil Kapoor, COO of Dish TV, said he hoped that other States also took cognisance of this judgment, as the DTH industry continues to be taxed heavily at both the Central and State levels.
Harit Nagpal, MD of Tata Sky, said it really clarified a very basic point that two platforms serving the same purpose cannot be taxed differently. “There cannot be a different cost structure for the DTH and the cable industry” reports Business Line.
Tamil Nadu government issued a notification on October 12, 2011 seeking to levy 30% entertainment tax on DTH operators. Agitated over this the DTH operators filled a petition challenging the tax imposition.
