The state is going to establish a new GST Audit Authority and Business intelligence Unit. It was announced in the 2020-21 State Budget that these two units are being formed for the effective and efficient management of commercial taxes in the state. Not only this, but the Commercial Tax Department is also decided to be restructured for the same.
According to the Budget, the officials of the Commercial Tax Department are to be considered equivalent to the officers of the Indian government. Additionally, they will try and set uniformity in the Administrative Structure. It will also work for the easy passage of goods. There will be a regular checking for economic offences. Automatic Number Plate Recognition along with Radio Frequency Identification devices will be developed initially for the main routes.
