| Uttar
Pradesh transporters to protest VAT implementation
Transporters
in Uttar Pradesh have decided to launch a state-wide
protest from December 31, 2007 against inclusion of the
transport sector under the Value Added Tax (VAT) system.
“In
22 states the transporters have been kept out of VAT. In
Uttar Pradesh also the tax authorities had earlier
promised to keep the transporters out of the VAT regime,
but suddenly the government has changed its mind,”
Mukesh Garg, a spokesperson of the Agra Goods Carrier
Association said.
