Sub-section (1) in Section 7 in the UTGST Act is being amended, so as to not levy union territory tax on Extra Neutral Alcohol used for manufacture of alcoholic liquor for human consumption.
Section 8A in the UTGST Act is being inserted, so as to empower the Government to regularize non –levy or short levy of union territory tax where it is found that such non levy or short levy was a result of general practice.
Tax exemption for extra neutral alcohol removes union territory tax when used to make alcoholic liquor, altering levy scope.
Amendment excludes union territory tax on Extra Neutral Alcohol used in manufacture of alcoholic liquor for human consumption, narrowing the UTGST taxable base and requiring suppliers and manufacturers to adjust tax treatment. A newly inserted Section 8A authorizes the government to regularize non-levy or short levy of union territory tax where such shortfall resulted from a general practice, creating a mechanism to validate or correct historical under-collection attributable to systemic practices.
