New govt must introduce tax sops, steps for early rollout of GST in budget: Assocham

03 Jun 2014 Evaluate

Industry body Assocham has pitched for a stable tax regime, steps for early rollout of Goods and Services Tax (GST), slashing of tax rates and measures to revivie special economic zone (SEZ) in the coming union budget to boost Indian economic growth.

Industry chamber has stated that first union budget by the new government should reflect its tax policy direction to stimulate economic growth, contain inflation and create conducive environment for investment especially in manufacturing and infrastructure which generates large-scale employment. The growth in manufacturing sector declined by 0.7% yoy in FY14 compared with de-growth of 0.2% in FY13 owing to the weak domestic demand.

Assocham further asserted that new government should introduce tax incentives in the coming budget to promote in-house R&D and national and corporate energies to create world-class Indian brands which can contribute significantly to import substitution and value added exports.

Furthermore, industry chamber has also sought for extension of tax benefits to telecom and power sectors, slashing of excise duty and service tax rates to 10 percent from 12 percent, bringing down personal and corporate income tax rates and creation of a conductive tax regime for attracting investments. Regarding the indirect tax, Assocham said that as indirect tax has always been an effective tool to drive economic and social growth, the government should replace indirect tax structure with GST in order to integrate India into a single economy and provide a unified tax policy for the country. Assocham further suggested the immediate withdrawal of Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT), Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT) and restoring the SEZ policy to its present form for providing impetus to the special economic zones.
