Mysuru: “Earlier, that is before the implementation of GST, the taxes were not visible to the public in the way they are now or in the quantum they are now,” said Ravi Kiran Edara, Joint Commissioner, Central Excise and Customs, Mysuru.
He was speaking at a seminar on ‘GST Law’ organised by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Mysuru here recently. “After implementation of GST people are feeling they are paying more; earlier they were paying tax in the form of VAT and service tax. There is a lot of transparency that is going to come because of GST. One of the major advantages of GST is that the compliance gap will be reduced. Whatever benefits the government gets through GST will be given back to the people,” he said.
