20 April 2013 Sir..

Entry tax @ 2% is liable to be paid for CAUSING ENTRY of schedule goods into the LOCAL area. Mahcine is a schedule goods under the Karnataka entry tax act and hence you shall be liable to pay entry tax @ 2% on the total value of the machine including freight charges. The liablity of entry tax is on the PERSON causing the entry of goods into LOCAL area. Hence in the instant case since the purchasers is also in Bangalore, in my opinion the final buyer shall need to pay the entry tax to the Commercial tax authorities.

Should you have further queries you can mail on pc_chhajer@yahoo.com
