Maharashtra News The state government of Maharashtra has increased VAT on service of liquor at the permit room by 5 percent from November 1 to 10 percent, increasing it to a total of 10 percent. This increase is due to the recent increase in license fees and increases in OTC sales prices. Hotel and Restaurant West India (HRAWI) president Pradeep Shetty, who has already paid 20 percent of VAT on alcohol service in star hotels, described the increase as surprising and unexpected. Industry sources suggest that the increase may lead to customers choosing less expensive off-premise options, such as consumption on rooftops, parks, beaches and parked cars.
