Multiplex operators in Karnataka have challenged a 2% cess on cinema ticket revenue, Deccan Herald reported. The levy applies to multiplex ticket sales in the state, including Bengaluru cinemas.
Cesses and taxes are added to the final price of every movie ticket in Bengaluru. If the challenge succeeds or fails, it can change what residents pay at multiplex counters.
Watch for court or government updates on the multiplex challenge to the 2% ticket cess.
