STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
Presently, the tractors and trailers used exclusively for agricultural
purposes are exempted for payment of motor vehicles tax. But, the
motor vehicles of farmers used for transporting agricultural produce
are subjected to motor vehicle tax every year adding to the burden of
the farmer. Therefore, it is decided to exempt the Tractor with Trailer
or Tipping Trailer of registered farmers of this Union territory of
Puducherry which is exclusively used for transporting agricultural
produce from the payment of tax under the Puducherry Motor Vehicles
Taxation Act, 1967 (Act 5 of 1967), by amending section 14 of this
said Act.
2. For the above purpose, it is decided to introduce a Bill titled
as “The Puducherry Motor Vehicles Taxation (Amendment) Bill, 2018”.
3. The bill seeks to achieve the above object.
