Effect on Media Sector : Union Budget 2011

– 2012
Budget Measures
Countervailing duty (CVD) and excise duty exemption on jumbo rolls of 400 feet and 1000 feet colour , unexposed cinematographic film.
Excise duty on LED is reduced to 5% and the special CVD is fully exempted.
Excise duty reduced from 10% to 5% on parts of ink-jet and laser-jet printers.
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) on book profits has been marginally increased from 18% to 18.5%.
Surcharge on domestic companies reduced to 5% from 7.5%.
Budget Impact

The CVD exemption on cinematographic film will be helpful for the


Indian film industry which imports this film.
The change in taxes on LED is not likely to affect the end
consumers much.
Reduced prices of printers will bring down the cost of production
for the companies in print media.
Increase in MAT is very nominal and is offset by a reduction in
surcharge.
Company Impact

Production houses like Balaji Telefilms will benefit


 out of the announcement of dutyexemption on
cinematographic film.
Reduction in the price of printers is a positive for
companies like Jagran Prakashan and HT Media.
