The country’s supreme audit body has questioned the preparedness of states to roll out the goods and services tax (GST), amid hectic parleys to build a consensus on the implementation of this crucial indirect tax reform from the next fiscal year.
The AO passed an assessment order in which he declined to follow the judgement of the Bombay High Court in CST vs. Pee Vee Textiles 26 VST 281 on the ground that the said judgement “is not accepted by the Sales Tax Department and legal proceeding is initiated against the said judgment”.

Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee today proposed a three-rate structure for the Goods and Services Tax -which will simplify the indirect tax regime – under which goods will attract 20 per cent levy, services 16 per cent and essential items a concessional 12 per cent. Mukherjee proposed these rates to the state finance ministers at a meeting here today to evolve consensus over GST that is planned to be implemented from April 1, next year.
The government on Tuesday said the direct taxes code (DTC) Bill and a constitutional amendment bill to implement the goods and services tax (GST ) are likely to be introduced in the Monsoon session beginning next week. “It is our expectation that both the constitutional amendment bill and DTC Bill would be introduced in the Monsoon session,” revenue secretary Sunil Mitra told reporters on the sidelines of a CII seminar in New Delhi today.
To begin with, next year, he suggested, the Centre will adopt a three-rate formula. While Mukherjee proposed that the rate of taxation for services be fixed at 8 per cent, a dual-rate regime for goods was recommended at the meeting of the empowered committee of state finance ministers. The Centre plans to keep a lower rate of 6 per cent for certain goods and maintain a standard rate of 10 per cent in the first year.
Fearing that their fiscal autonomy will be impacted by the uniform tax structure, state finance ministers are likely to bargain for some flexibility on proposed Goods and Services Tax when they meet Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee on July 21.
