The Delhi Government has decided to revoke the Special Corona Fee of 70% levied on the sale of liquor in the Union Territory. However, it has hiked the Value Added Tax (VAT) on liquor by 5% from 10 June 2020. The Special Fee on the sale of alcoholic beverages was imposed in May in an effort to raise revenue to the state’s exchequer. The sale of alcoholic beverages was allowed from 4 May 2020 when the government lifted the lockdown and the state government imposed the special fee from 5 May onwards. Sale of liquor was stopped after the Centre announced a nationwide lockdown on 24 March 2020 and was later lifted only on 4 May; however, the state government decided to increase the revenue in the form of the special fee.
