During this, the burden of collection of GST and other taxes is directly on the states. He said that petroleum products may also come under the purview of GST in the coming times. At present, the states are getting their share of VAT. After coming to GST, if it is kept in the slab of 28 percent, then the state government will get only 14 percent of the revenue. The remaining 14 percent will be kept by the central government. He said that the views of the representatives are very important in the direction of improving the system for businessmen, governance and citizens in Chhattisgarh. All of us are sitting together today to take suggestions from business organizations and representatives.
