Madurai: Minister of Finance and Human Resources Tamil Nadu Thiamivel Thiamivel Rajan, who was in Madurai on Friday, said he did not participate in the GST council met in Lucknow because of the previous commitment in elections and the fact that there was nothing important to be discussed, met, according to the agenda sent to the state at first.
When asked about him did not attend the meeting, the minister said that he had received an invitation for the meeting only after September 10 and he had committed to participating in many events in the city of Madurai, and made him released by telling the Chairman of the MK Stalin Minister.
According to the initial agenda received by the state, nothing seems important, and it was decided that the Secretary of Finance and Commissioner for commercial tax would attend the name, he said.
“However, in additional items sent 3-4 days ago, there are five or six important items in connection with GST compensation and I sit and read 500 strange pages and answer each item in detail, on the Tamil Nadu holder on it,” he said.
This was conveyed on my behalf at the council meeting, “he said.
In his speech, it was put forward at the council meeting, Thiaga Rajan said Tamil Nadu opposed the move to enter the sale of petroleum products under the GST regime, because it was one of the few last tax rights owned by countries under the post-GST regime.
“Therefore, we are reluctant to hand over one of the few remaining rights and basically oppose bringing these products to the Ambit GST,” he said.
Country concerns improve various since the center has increased taxation between 500 percent and 1,000 percent of 2014 and now.
And also the fact that the center has changed the mixture of this taxation from more than 90 percent of excise (shared with countries) and less than 10 percent of CESS and additional costs (not distributed with the state) in 2014, only about 4 percent of the rest.
In the form of excise and break 96 percent as CESS and additional costs.
“In this situation, we feel it will be a fatal, potentially fatal grave, injustice to shift the taxation of the state of gasoline and diesel from the level specified solely by each state to Ambit GST.
However, if and when the union is fully union Dropping the retribution of all CESS and additional costs for these products, we will be happy to reconsider our position at that time, “said Thiaga Rajan.
“Also, we did not expect the union government to say that there was no dial-in option to attend the meeting and that it was 100 percent physical, which was announced a few days ago.
If it has been held in Delhi, I might have gone, but it was held at Lucknow, it means taking three flights, and I can’t cancel 15 to 20 events in Madurai, “he said.
