Bare Act

The Himachal Pradesh Abolition of Tax Mutarfa Act, 1966

This law completely abolished Tax Mutarfa, an annual trade tax that was previously imposed on all traders and professionals operating within the Bilaspur district of Himachal Pradesh. Originally established under the historical rules of the former Bilaspur State Durbar, this tax charged local businesses varying rates based on their specific profession. By repealing these outdated rules, the Act eliminated an obsolete financial burden on local merchants, helping to modernize the regional economy. While past collections remained legally valid, the law ensured that no future taxes could be levied, providing immense relief and legal certainty to the local business community.
