印度最高法院维持了7月25日的裁决,允许邦立法机构对矿产权利征税,驳回复审请求。 The Supreme Court of India has upheld its July 25 ruling allowing state legislatures to tax mineral rights, dismissing petitions for review. 法院强调,对矿物土地征税的权力在于各州,而不是议会。 The court emphasized that the power to impose taxes on mineral lands lies with the states, not Parliament. 此外,它澄清说,向各州支付的使用费不列为税。 Additionally, it clarified that royalty payments to states are not classified as taxes. 这项决定加强了国家的财政自主权,特别是使矿产资源丰富的地区受益,同时引起对公共部门可能受到的财政影响的关切。 This decision enhances states' fiscal autonomy, particularly benefiting mineral-rich regions, while raising concerns about potential financial impacts on the public sector.
