GST: Dual Control Issue Over Assessees Still Unresolved
Dual control over the assesses from both the states and center was earlier a stick in the neck and is still in the same position. Kerala Finance Minister Thomas Issac said, a vertical division of assessees for the collection of taxes and for the purpose of the audit would create problems for small taxpayers, Kerala, Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Delhi, Odisha… the majority of states want a combination of vertical and horizontal (dual control structure). Below Rs 1.5 (crore turnover), states should tax, above Rs 1.5 crore, it can be vertical division.
