Sikkim is a hilly state, with hilly area special status. All the hilly states have special status, as they are backward. They get special finacial packages. But they too pay taxes, depends on what you mean. Don't make a non-issue an issue.

if lower income is the case then it should be for only those who earn a meagre income. i don't believe that the entire sikkim population is poor. its the govt. who has kept them aside.

Our govt. people r idiots while they will tax people who strive from day to night they will exclude stars like Sachin Tendulkar who is earning in crores (if u remember his ferrari car had cost him around 1 crore as tax which was exempted by our govt.

shame on the govt. shame on Sachin Tendulkar who should hv paid it.

Well...I was just kidding. I only meant everybody's income that is eligible for taxation is taxed and there is no exemption to Sikkim. But I agree with you that some exemption for promotion of tourism should be granted to Sikkim than waive off tax on Sachin's car.
