Central Excise Chief Commissioners Conference Today
Chief Commissioners of Central Excise are meeting today and tomorrow in Shillong to thrash out many issues. This could perhaps be the last meeting of the Chief Commissioners of Central Excise to sort out Central Excise issues, if GST is a fact next fiscal. It is a good idea not to carry the carcass of excise issues to the GST era. So the Chief Commissioners should try to settle all pending issues and persuade the Board to accept their views and get clarifications issued immediately. The Chief Commissioners and the Board should use this opportunity to solve issues rather than perpetuate litigation.
Let the tax administration be perceived as one ready to help the tax payer pay his taxes in peace rather than one out to harass him at the slightest opportunity. This will also help in a smooth transition to the GST era.
