Hello friends, I see fellow messagers writing , why sikkimese need not pay taxes, many of your are wrong about the income levels, backward ness etc, If you guys have any of your friends working for military in north east ask them why ,they tell you. My friend from BSF had told me long back that, tthe people in these states already pay tax to the ulfas, etc. in the those regions, they pay taxes to them bcos they fear them a lott, than our govt.
So Indian govt, did not want to levy double tax on the people so, they removed the govt tax. that is the closest explanation for that.
