Sales tax was first introduced in India in the province of Bombay, where a tax was imposed on sales of tobacco within certain very limited urban and suburban areas by the Bombay Tobacco (Amendment) Act, 1938, which came into force on the 24th March, 1938.

In the Central provinces & levy, again a selective one, on motor spirit and lubricants alone was introduced in January, 1939. In the province of Bombay, Government took powers by the Bombay Sales Tax Act, 1939 to levy sales tax on motor spirit and manufactured cloth, at rates not exceeding six and a quarter per cent.
