PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss on Tuesday called for a CBI-led inquiry into the alleged excise duty and Value Added Tax evasion in TASMAC liquor business in the State.
In a statement, Dr. Ramadoss said it was shocking that sales tax and excise duty on liquor sold in TASMAC were not being paid. It was unacceptable that the taxes due to the State were allegedly being diverted to private individuals.
“While illicit liquor is being sold, around 5-10 liquor shops are being operated under every TASMAC outlet. These shops are being run for 24 hours and the allegation is that the taxes on liquor bottles being sold through these outlets are not being paid,” he said.
