Idea of sales tax was the brain child of a TB!

Rajaji introduced The Prohibition Act in September 1937. This was the first time it was ever introduced in India. In order to offset the loss of revenue, he also introduced sales tax for the first time.[SUP][7]

Spiritual Logic! Why then the sales tax department is not closed whenProhibition is lifted! Financial Logic!![/SUP]

Does Samosa cost Rs 500/Kg...I guess it will be half that rate..Does it mean only samosas served in 5 star hotels will be taxed??

Government should find out some mechanism to tax each breaths of oxygen by its citizen. I think that's the only thing left to be taxed now!!
