Kerala Blasters FC’s official statement regarding Cochin Corporation notice on Entertainment Tax for Hero Indian Super League 2022-23 football matches happening in Kochi. After the implementation of GST in the country, the Government of Kerala issued an order (No. 123/2017) exempting the payment of the entertainment tax for football matches held in Kerala on the 24th of June 2017. The mentioned Government Order is still in effect.
In addition, a writ petition is also pending before the Honourable High court of Kerala regarding the applicability of entertainment tax for Football matches played in ISL tournaments. In connection with the Writ petition, the High court has stayed the order issued by the Cochin Corporation demanding payment of entertainment tax for the football matches played in Kochi as part of the ISL League.
As the notice issued by the cochin corporation is contrary to the interim stay of the High Court and the Government orders in connection with the entertainment tax, the said notice is not applicable according to the law and can attract condemnation of the court. A written reply has been given to the Corporation clarifying these matters and requested for the withdrawal of the notice.
