With the introduction of new tax regime, GST (Goods and Services Tax) known as India’s most ambitious indirect tax reform plan has been in the news ever since it was mooted by the government.
However, despite a gazetted notification for the same is issued on 14th November, 2017 to avoid entry ticket tax for the protected monument.
