FM to meet his state counterparts on GST roadmap

22 Apr 2015 Evaluate

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has convened a meeting of the Empowered Committee of State Finance Ministers and will be meeting his state counterparts to discuss the roadmap for rolling out Goods and Services Tax (GST) from April 2016. It has been reported that the state ministers will later discuss amongst themselves various issues relating to the implementation of the new indirect regime. Some states have argued that the implementation of GST would be beneficial for consuming states, while for their manufacturing counterparts like Maharashtra and Gujarat it could be a challenge.

The government plans to get the Constitutional Amendment Bill on GST passed in the ongoing session of Parliament and is working towards addressing concerns of all states for rolling out the GST on the scheduled date. The Centre and the states are also working on a new Revenue Neutral Rate, currently pegged at 27 per cent, also the 1 per cent additional tax which states can levy as part of the GST Bill.

Earlier, the newly selected chairman of the empowered committee of state finance minister K M Mani had said that a consensus would be built among states for rolling out of GST by April 2016 as there is no “obstinate opposition” from any state. Arun Jaitley emphasizing on the need for GST has said that a single rate GST will replace central excise, state VAT, entertainment tax, octroi, entry tax, luxury tax and purchase tax on goods and services to ensure seamless transfer and end of “inspector raj” as well as “tax on tax.”
