Additional excise duty in lieu of sales tax (AEDILST) has been a bone of contention between the Centre and the States. This study (i) assesses revenue loss to the States through exemptions under AEDILST; (ii) examines the rationale for these exemptions; and (iii) makes recommendations for policy on these items particularly with regard to the tax treatment of tobacco, khandsari and textiles.
