    IN THIS ISSUE……… MSME News Update…………………………………………...…………….……....... 01 1. 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. (The Times of India, October 2nd, 2017) 2.
