Whether SBC is chargeable on import or manufacture of goods, like done earlier for Education Cesses? No, SBC is not chargeable on goods. Unlike education cesses, the levy has been subjected only on taxable services. The rationale behind the differentiation between goods and services is not known, especially when dirt, pollution and environmental damages are mainly attributed to manufacturing activity, industrialization and relatively more directly related with goods than services. Hence, the levy is not based on principles of equality and the service sector has been discriminated and penalized for no fault of theirs. Yet, the parliament is constitutionally empowered to legislate and enforce the same.
In Union Budget 2015, Government had issue Swachh Bharat Cess (SB Cess) @ 2% stating the fact that it will be effective from the date to be notified.
