The Bengal budget increases taxes on cigars

People's Democracy.

THE Bengal budget for the financial year 2006-2007 lays adequate emphasis on the generation of additional employment in the state. It also aims at enhancing the levels of income of the people. It comes in the wake of the vote-on-account budget placed earlier in the year.

Taxes will be increased on foreign liquor, foreign cigars and cigarette. Lac and shellac will be made taxable commodities.

...oh not more taxes on cigars....
