Entry Tax puts T -Transport business in danger!

The Entry Tax levied by Telangana government not only worries the Transport businessmen in Andhra Pradesh, it is also sending shivers down the spine of Telangana businessmen too. They are now suspecting AP to impose a similar tax in retaliation.

At present, the entry tax will fetch more revenue for Telangana than Andhra Pradesh. But such move will affect Telangana in long run as the new state is a land locked state and will have to move through AP to the nearest ports. The proposed Entry Tax in AP will make life difficult in Telangana.

It is reliably learnt that Telangana Lorry Owners Association are planning to stage a bandh against their own government to withdraw the controversial Entry Tax. Our readers may be surprised that all this ruckus is all about a paltry 40 Crore in the form of Entry Tax per month which is nothing for a revenue surplus state like Telangana.
