Ice cream to get more expensive

All sorts of ice creams are set to become costlier as the government is imposing 5% more supplementary duty on ice cream.

The total supplement duty on ice cream will be 10% instead of existing 5%.

This move aims to increase revenue collection and tax compliance in FY25.

The finance minister said: “With a view to increasing revenue collection and tax compliance in financial year 2024-25, I submit the proposal to the parliament."
