From January 25, amusement park visitors might be able to avail tickets at a cheaper rate than before. Ahead of the Union Budget, the GST Council on Thursday moved to cut tax rates on 29 goods and 54 services - one of which happens to be the tax implemented on amusement parks, water parks, and go-karting among others. Last July, GST was implemented at 28 per cent on the same, putting joyrides in the same bracket as racecourses and gambling joints. However, after Thursday's council meet, the GST rate has been slashed to 10 per cent.
