New Delhi: The Union government is making a renewed push to get states on board to levy a uniform road tax for personal vehicles across the country, a senior government official said.
The move is expected to bring relief to automobile buyers, while also helping protect revenue of states as some consumers tend to purchase vehicles in states with lower taxes, resulting in a loss of revenue for those with higher taxes.
“In a recent meeting with the Centre, states have said they are on board to implement uniform (road) tax,” the official cited earlier said on condition of anonymity.
