The milk tax aims to strengthen milk producers and improve the situation of farmers, and the environmental tax aims to achieve a clean environment and boost the tourism industry.
The tax on milk would be 10 paise per unit for all consumers except zero-billed consumers.
The environmental cess would be 2 paise per unit for small industrial power consumption, 4 paise for medium industrial power consumption, 10 paise per unit for large industrial power consumption and commercial consumers, Rs 2 per unit for temporary connections and stone crushers and Rs 6 per unit at charging station.
The Bill further empowers the government to increase the tax through notification subject to a maximum of 50% at a time. The Bill seeks to amend the Himachal Pradesh Electricity (Tax) Act, 2009 with the insertion of sections 3-A for milk tax and 3-B for environment tax.
