Delhi High Court upholds higher hotel taxes, citing tourism ratings and fair revenue distribution.
The Delhi High Court has upheld the Municipal Corporation of Delhi's higher property tax on three-star and above hotels, rejecting challenges that the classification was arbitrary or violated constitutional rights.
The court ruled the Ministry of Tourism's star-rating system provides a rational basis for differentiation, and that taxing larger, luxury hotels helps achieve equitable revenue distribution.
It also confirmed that basements, stilts, and other non-revenue spaces can be included in taxable area, as they support hotel operations.
The decision validates the use of a uniform Use Factor and a 20% tax rate, affirming the tax regime's constitutionality.
