Claim: On the domestic LPG cylinders, the State Government levy a tax of 55% whereas the Central Government's tax is just 5%
Fact-check: A GST of 5% is levied on the domestic LPG cylinders; no State imposes 55% tax - FACTLY
Verdict: the domestic lpg cylinders fall under the 5% gst  slab. the central and the state governments do not levy separate taxes of their own on the lpg cylinders. there is no basis for the claim that the state government impose a tax of 55% on the lpg cylinders. the numbers given in the post regarding the dealer's commission are also not correct. the dealer/distributor's commission is rs. 61.84 on a 14.2 kg lpg gas cylinder. hence the claim made in the post is false.
