The National Assembly decided to lift the tourism levy exemption from the identified Dzongkhags and made the Sustainable Development Fee applicable to all the Dzongkhags during the re-deliberation on Tourism Levy and Exemption Bill of Bhutan 2020 today.
The House had proposed five more Dzongkhags in the list to exempt payment of tourism levy taking the number to 11 and forwarded to the National Council. The House of Review added four more Dzongkhags making it to fifteen Dzongkhags. Many members of the National Assembly in disbelief expressed their concerns and decided to change the Bill to Tourism Levy Bill of Bhutan 2020.
