Govt. will address concerns of SMEs, exporters on GST: Adhia The government is looking to ease the compliance burden for small businesses and ensure they are not adversely impacted by GST, while also working out a solution for easier refund of taxes paid by exporters, revenue secretary Hasmukh Adhia said. Adhia also indicated to TOI that petrol and diesel may not be included in GST immediately, while pointing out that levy on oil products in other countries was higher than the VAT or the GST rate. Amid criticism from various quarters, he acknowledged that there would be some transition pain but added that the government and the GST Council were flexible in addressing concerns. “For honest taxpayers, there cannot be anything better than this because GST puts a premium on honesty. At the same time, it will make it very difficult for dishonest businessmen to evade taxes and that's why there is some opposition. Those who were not paying taxes will face some pain initially because, for the first time, they have to put everything on record, maintain proper books of accounts and file returns, “he said.

He said that the multilateral trading system was under stress and a number of fresh trade-restrictive measures, which would affect global trade and economic growth, had surged. “It is necessary that we look at making the WTO improve further,” Mr. Prabhu said at a conference on a strategic alliance for the WTO and trade remedy laws. “The WTO has to change, and change for the better. We are preparing an agenda that does not exclude any country in the process of making the WTO better.” He said that he had personally met with 150 trade ministers to move a reformed WTO agenda forward. “I am getting a positive response from all concerned, including the Director General of WTO, in our endeavour to take all countries on-board.” “Expansion of global trade hinges on rules and processes determined by the WTO and unless global trade expands, national economies will not benefit,” he said. “It is important that all substantive issues that have been agreed to at the Doha and other trade rounds, as well as new issues that have cropped up, are addressed with a sense of urgency.” Business Standard Budget 2019: Hasmukh Adhia, Ajay https://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/budget- Narayan Jha to make way for new 2019-hasmukh-adhia-ajay-narayan-jha-to-make-way-for-new-team- team 118111901307_1.html The retirement dates of Finance Secretary Hasmukh Adhia and Expenditure Secretary Ajay Narayan Jha are confirmed.
