Entry tax in Assam is levied by the state on goods that enter the state from other states. The goods on which entry tax is charged include those that are meant for distribution of consumption within the geographical boundaries of Assam.
Note: Entry Tax has been replaced by the Goods and Services Tax(GST) starting 1 July 2017
Entry tax can be referred to as a tax imposed on moving goods from one state to another by Indian State Governments. The recipient state imposes the tax as a means to protect its tax base. The Entry Tax Act was introduced on the 1st of September 2000, and it requires all dealers who conduct businesses or bring goods into local regions to sell them as casual dealers, non-residential dealers, or occasional dealers, must pay Entry Tax. Entry Tax is also applicable to trading, commercial or industrial undertaking State as well as Central Government Company, firm, club, HUF or society that conducts business.
