Entry Tax Will Remain In UP After VAT

New Delhi: Entry tax will continue in Uttar Pradesh (UP) even after the implementation of VAT. The continuation of entry tax even after the proposed switching over to Goods and Services Tax (GST) dispensation by 2010 cannot be eliminated since a clear view has to be taken as to what all taxes would be subsumed to either VAT or GST. The entry tax under VAT regime will not be made vatable.
