Disruption caused by GST rollout may hamper govt’s FY18 revenue collection target: CBEC Chief

30 Oct 2017 Evaluate

Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) chairperson Vanaja N Sarna has said that disruption caused by the goods and services tax (GST) rollout may hamper government’s indirect revenue collection target for the year 2017-18. She indicated that the government had budgeted Rs 9.68 trillion collection from customs and GST for the year ending March 2018. However, she said that the government has made it clear that it has no plans to revise the revenue collection target for the year.

Besides, Sarna pointed out that the department will not penalise traders for any default on tax payment at the moment. She said “It is not our job to penalise traders at the moment. This is despite the fact that our intelligence officials are constantly keeping a close watch on the entire development related to GST.”

CBEC chairperson said that customs has done well but they have to wait till the GST rollout settles down. She also noted that right now, the priority of the department is to be a facilitator for a smooth rollout of the new tax regime. Adding further, she stated that the government has, so far, disbursed Rs 200 crore refunds to the exporters. Earlier, the CBEC had said that the government is considering measures to help exporters whose working capital has been blocked due to delayed refunds after the GST rollout.
