In a recent interaction with the media, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had hinted that GST was still evolving and the government is open to making changes needed to further simplify the system. That seems to now be underway with the government’s relevant departments holding direct interactions with the users in live demonstrations on the issues being faced by those filing the GST returns, PTI reports.
During the meeting, the stakeholders were asked to provide their suggestions to improve the system as well. Those attending included the Rajasthan Tax Consultants' Association, ICAI, CAIT and Laghu Udyog Bharti. The government side was represented by CBIC Chairman, GSTN CEO, Member (Tax Policy), CBIC, AS (Revenue), Joint Secretary (Revenue), JS (TRU-1) and EVP- GSTN, apart from the FM.
