https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=384632 Section 3(6) of the Kerala Motor Vehicles Taxation Act, 1976 was treated as a valid State levy and not repugnant to Chapter IV of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, because registration under the central law does not occupy the field of motor vehicle taxation. A non-transport vehicle registered outside Kerala becomes liable to Kerala tax once it is used or kept for use in Kerala beyond thirty days, and prior registration or tax payment in another State does not exempt it. The Court also stressed procedural fairness: adverse tax determinations must be based on disclosed material, and the impugned registration and tax orders were set aside with remand for fresh consideration. en-us Tue, 16 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 20 Aug 2019 07:39:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=384632 Section 3(6) of the Kerala Motor Vehicles Taxation Act, 1976 was treated as a valid State levy and not repugnant to Chapter IV of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, because registration under the central law does not occupy the field of motor vehicle taxation.
