This may be seen as a sign of an understanding on Congress's demand that a tax rate of 18% may be ring fenced. The Centre is considering discussions with individual parties rather than an all- party meeting as it looks to address Congress's demand for a guarantee that the tax rate will be capped at 18%. Regarding Entry Tax , The Supreme Court has shrugged off the Attorney General's suggestion that entry tax imposed by states no longer needs a debate as the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill will subsume it. The hearing has also come up before 9-member bench of Supreme Court this week. The Bench has formulated the following broad questions of law that would aid in settling the constitutional validity of levy of Entry Tax: (a) Can the levy of tax per se constitute an infraction of Article 301 of the Constitution? ~
