Tax not hiked on LPG, clarifies AP govt

Amaravati, Spt 12 (UNI) The government of Andhra Pradesh has clarified that the tax on Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) was not hiked as propagating by a section of media.
Special Chief Secretary (Revenue) Rajat Bhargava said in statement here on Saturday said that the government had issued a notification increasing the rate of tax on ‘Natural Gas’ from 14.5 per cent to 24.5 pc. But it is being propagated by media that Government has increased tax on LPG.
This is totally misleading as the LPG (Liquefied petroleum Gas) is different from Natural Gas. After the introduction of GST in 2017, the LPG along with all other goods is subsumed in GST.
