Hotel & Restaurant Association of Haryana (HRAH) has demanded complete waiver of Luxury Tax in Haryana. The Association, along with Haryana Chamber of Commerce & Industry, has submitted a memorandum to Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Chief Minister, Haryana for the same.

Haryana government currently charges ten per cent Luxury Tax on hotel’s room actual tariff, which is above Rs 2,000. When Luxury Tax was fixed last time, the state had set ten per cent LT on tariff above Rs 800. The hotel association had taken up the issue with the government and got the minimum tariff for LT raised to Rs 2,000. Besides, the association has also demanded a reduction of VAT on liquor from the current 25 per cent, so that hotels and bars can serve liquor at affordable rates.
