29 Change in rate of tax — Trade Circular No. 14T of 2010,
dated 31-3-2010.

Commodities under MVAT Schedule Entry A-9A & A-51 currently
being tax-free, the same would  continue to be tax-free.

Concessional tax rate for raisins and currants under Schedule
Entry No. C-108(1)(a), tea in leaf and powder form (including instant tea) under
Schedule Entry No. C-108 (1) (b) would continue but with increased MVAT rate
from 4% to 5% w.e.f. 1-4-2010 with the result that rates for these commodities
would be 5% from 1-4-2010.

For aviation turbine fuel (duty paid) covered by Schedule
Entry D-11, when sold within Maharashtra, excluding the geographical limit of
Brihan Mumbai Corporation & Pune District, concessional rate of tax 4% would
continue. It is clarified that this exemption would continue up to 31st March,
2011 or till the Goods & Service Tax Law is implemented in the State, whichever
is earlier.

No extension of concession to timber and dry fruits (other
than raisins and currants) which were taxable 4% up to 31st March, 2010. So
w.e.f. 1-4-2010 they would be taxable @12.5%.
