Entertainment tax waiver for World Cup warm-up matches at Kerala’s Greenfield Stadium

Minister for Local Self-Governments M.B. Rajesh has directed the Thiruvananthapuram City Corporation to waive the entertainment tax for the ICC Cricket World Cup warm-up matches scheduled to be held at the Greenfield International Stadium at Karyavattom.

The entertainment tax, which ranges from 24% to 48% of the ticket price, will be waived. In the previous two international cricket matches here at the stadium, entertainment taxes of 12% to 5% were levied.

Mr. Rajesh said that the decision to waive the entertainment tax was taken following requests from sports enthusiasts. The Kerala Cricket Association had also submitted a request for waiver. He expressed hope that the decision will attract international matches to the stadium.
