GST Implementation report - What's in it for me?

THE Board had sent copies of the Report of the Group on Implementation of GST to all the Chief Commissioners and DGs to study the recommendations and send their feedback latest by 26 th July 2010 (today).

The Report has generated tremendous interest in the field. Every officer is deeply interested - in his promotion prospects. We have been receiving incessant calls for copies of the reports and our analyses on the promotion prospects. In fact a few officers wanted us to tell them whether they would be in the first list of promotions. Some CCs did hold mega meetings and there were openly expressed fears about erosion of powers and status. The report has created interest in the State Government officers also. In Gujarat, there are 12 Central Excise and Service Tax Commissioners and only ONE VAT Commissioner. Under the new scheme, Gujarat may have at least 24 CGST Commissioners and that may require an equal number of SGST Commissioners. Bonanza all around. Today we bring you a summary of the Report.
