Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has urged GST officers to leverage technology to plug loopholes and provide better taxpayer services. She advocated for sharing of the emerging best practices, emphasising the need for seamless coordination across states in the larger national interest.
The minister stressed that clarity on the classification of related issues should be looked into at the earliest through appropriate channels. She also exhorted the GST officials to engage with stakeholders to understand their concerns, enhance compliance, streamline processes, and work collaboratively towards making the tax system more transparent and efficient.
She further stressed the significance of holding such meetings regularly among enforcement chiefs of the Centre and states, and to leverage this platform for discussing obstacles, exchanging successful strategies and collectively advancing towards a more robust and harmonious tax infrastructure.
