Gujarat - Patel urges Centre to delay GST  

Gujarat Minister of State for Industry Saurabh Patel today asked the Centre to delay implementation of Goods and Service Tax (GST), saying there is still no clarity on the tax structure under this proposed new tax regime.



 

As per the announcement of Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee in his budget speech, GST is proposed to come into effect from April 1, 2010.

"I have urged the Centre to delay implementation of GST as no consensus has been arrived yet at the Empowered Committee (EC) on basic structure of this tax regime," Patel told reporters.

"We support such kind of tax reforms, but unless there is clarity on the tax structure and what impact it would have on the stakeholders, its difficult to pass the bill," he said.
