Goa Liquor Price List 2020
Liquor is set to cost up to 50% more from April 1 in Goa, chief minister Pramod Sawant said in the assembly. Presenting his maiden budget, Sawant announced a hike in excise duties and fee on the sale of liquor, with the hikes ranging from 20%-50% for all categories of liquor.
Goa’s excise revenue collection was Rs 477.67 crore during the financial year 2018-19 which was an increase of 16.5% over the previous year while the new excise duties and fees will see the government rope in additional excise revenue of Rs 100 crore — an increase of around 25%.
Despite the hikes, however, booze available in Goa would continue to be cheaper than that in other states. Sawant also promised to crack down on black-marketing by proposing to introduce a unique hologram on each bottle that would authenticate the liquor.
Besides liquor, the government has hiked stamp duty, fees under the land revenue code, as well as the court fees which, the CM said, will help mobilize revenue of an additional Rs 150 crore.
While admitting that mining operations were suspended for a while, Sawant budgeted a revenue generation of Rs 500 crore from the industry, citing his government’s efforts to restart mining in the state.
