Tickets for theaters will be reduced sooner: How?

The subject of ticket prices of theaters is often discussed. There are plenty of disagreements in cinema in terms of ticket prices. A few months ago, CM Siddaramaiah had promised a uniform ticket price in Karnataka. But that is not the case. Ticket prices are also being debated in Andhra Pradesh and Kerala. But now there is an indication that cinema ticket prices will be reduced across the country.

The current entertainment tax is 18%. This was an indirect contribution to the overall ticket rate hike. The owners of the theaters and multiplexes have also appealed to the government to reduce the entertainment tax. The ticket price was Rs 300 and the tax money would be Rs 54. He had earlier demanded that GST be reduced to 5%. The government is likely to reject the appeal.

Since 2018, the Multiplex Association has been putting pressure on the government and has been appealing for a reduction in tax. Now the government has assured the Multiplex Association of this and the possibility of a decision to reduce entertainment tax at the GST meeting is dense.

The Multiplex Association has appealed to the government to impose a 12% tax on ticket prices up to Rs 300. At present, a ticket rate is 12% for less than 100 rupees and 18% for a ticket rate. This has resulted in ticket prices across the country.

In the last state budget, CM Siddaramaiah spoke about imposing cinema ticket rates in the state. He spoke to the implementation of a uniform ticket rate in the state. Film Chamber Siddaramaiah’s decision was welcomed. But that has not been implemented.
