Asserting that there was no pressure on Maharashtra government against imposition of entertainment tax on IPL matches in the state, chief minister Ashok Chavan today said the cabinet was mulling over the quantum of tax.
Talking to reporters here, Chavan said the cabinet was yet to decide on the quantum of tax and the final decision would be announced at an appropriate time.
"The matter is under consideration of the government," he said.
Chavan denied that there was any pressure on his government not to impose entertainment tax on the IPL matches.
To a question on public announcements of finance minister
Sunil Tatkare that the government had decided to waive off the
entertainment tax, Chavan said the government had not levied
the tax in the first place. "Where is the question of waiving
it," he asked.
