After 12% GST and Mandi tax, now 2% farmers will face grievance crisis due to agriculture tax

Jodhpur, which is called Asia’s biggest ghee market, has a crisis in the ghee industry. A week ago, the government is likely to have an impact on the sale of ghee by adding a new tax of two percent as farmer agriculture. Before the lockdown, there was five thousand tin ghee sold daily, which has now decreased. The new tax will be a burden on the general public, while ghee traders fear losing competition from neighboring states.

After GST and Mandi tax, a new tax has been imposed in the name of 2 percent and Kisan Krishi Tax. Mandi tax is being taken only in Rajasthan. Mandi tax is not levied in any of the surrounding states. Now farmers have also added agricultural tax. With GST, both these taxes are to be recovered from the public. Anyway, before GST, VAT on food items including oil and ghee was charged at the same 5 percent, but after GST, there is 5 percent tax on oil, but on Ghee, there is 12 percent GST. After that, the tax was added at 1.60 percent value. Now farmers have imposed 2 percent tax directly as agriculture.
