a) **Meaning of "Local Area" in Karnataka Entry Tax Act, 1979:**

The term "local area" under the Karnataka Tax on Entry of Goods Act, 1979 (KTEG Act) refers to specific local administrative units where the tax may or may not be applicable based on the Act's provisions. Generally, it includes:

- **Zilla Parishads:** These are district-level local government bodies.
- **Panchayats:** These are village-level local government bodies.

In urban areas, the applicability of entry tax may vary. In some cases, certain urban local bodies may also fall under the definition of "local area" as specified under the Act. The exact applicability can depend on the specific provisions and notifications issued by the Karnataka government under the Act.

For precise details on which urban cities or areas fall under the "local area" definition for the purpose of the KTEG Act, you would need to refer to the official notifications or consult with a tax advisor familiar with Karnataka's tax laws.

b) **Commodities Covered under Karnataka Entry Tax Act:**

As of today, the specific list of commodities covered under the Karnataka Entry Tax Act can vary and is typically specified in schedules or notifications issued by the Karnataka government under the Act. The Act provides the framework for levying entry tax on goods entering Karnataka from other states or countries.

The commodities covered can range across various categories including industrial goods, consumer goods, machinery, equipment, and other specific items as determined by the Karnataka government. The applicability of entry tax and the rates can also be subject to updates or amendments through notifications issued by the state government.

To get the most current and detailed list of commodities covered under the Karnataka Entry Tax Act, you should refer to the latest notifications or schedules published by the Karnataka State Tax Department or consult with a tax professional well-versed in Karnataka tax laws.

For any specific queries or updates related to entry tax applicability in Karnataka, it's advisable to directly contact the Karnataka State Tax Department or seek professional advice to ensure compliance with current regulations.
