Brief Background
The Union Territory (U.T). of Dadra & Nagar Haveli is a centrally administered territory without legislature. The territory was under Portugal Rule up to its liberation i.e. up to 02/08/1954. It was integrated with Indian Union on 11th August 1961. In the beginning there was no sales tax leviable as it was backward territory inhabitant by Scheduled caste & Scheduled Tribes. The GOI had exempted this U.T. from Sales tax regime. However with the increase in Industries Trade and commercial activities in the U.T. there was persistence from the neighboring States to discontinue the exemption of tax to avoid unhealthy competition of prices among the neighboring States it was decided to impose sales tax in the U.T. Accordingly the Dadra and Nagar Haveli Sales Tax Regulation 1978 and rules made there under and Central Sales Tax Act 1956 for Sales Tax came in to force from 1983. Further with the implementation of VAT Policy at all India level the Dadra & Nagar Haveli Regulation 2005 & Dadra & Nagar Haveli Value Added Rules 2005 were enforced with effect from 01.04.2005
