Poll: Tamil film industry' shutdown over tax

Distributors and theatre owners in Tamil Nadu have called for a strike following implementation of the Goods and Services Tax, as they also have to bear a 30% local body tax, and there is no clarity whether an additional 18-28% tax may also be levied.

Do you think the Tamil Nadu film industry is justified in effecting a total shutdown due to the ongoing GST issue?

• Yes. Local body taxes on top of GST is too much
• The industry should have sought clarity earlier
• No. After all, taxes help the country grow
