    The Popcorn Tax Debate has sparked discussions nationwide, focusing on the GST on food and beverage in multiplexes and entertainment venues. With GST rates on popcorn and similar snacks ranging between 5% to 18%, consumers and businesses alike are questioning the fairness and clarity of this tax structure. While popcorn is a quintessential movie snack, many argue that high taxes are inflating costs for patrons. On the flip side, authorities justify these rates as standard under the GST on food and beverage category. This ongoing debate highlights the need for balanced taxation policies that encourage consumption while supporting the industry. Share your thoughts: Is the current GST on popcorn justified, or is a reform necessary?
