Small industries’ association wants GST to be reduced

 








Erode District Small Industries Association (EEDISSIA) has urged the Central government to reduce the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on plastic raw materials, textile yarn and carbonated fruit juice-based drink.

The association’s general body meeting was held under the chairmanship of its president P. Thirumoorthy in which secretary R. Ramparakash, vice-presidents V.T. Shreedhar and P. Kandasamy, treasurer S. Palanivel, joint secretary A. Saravanan Babu and members participated. Various resolutions were passed during the meeting.

A resolution said that the GST council has recommended an increase in the GST rate on cartons, boxes, packing containers of paper from the present 12% to 18%. The resolution said that the move will affect the paper industry much and wanted the proposal to be withdrawn. Another resolution said that it was proposed to increase the GST for carbonated beverages upto 40% and wanted it to be withdrawn. Use of plastic bags for packing was banned without any proof and hence the government should come out with alternative products for packing on war-footing. Since plastic items can be recycled, it should be permitted for secondary packages, the resolution said.

Other resolutions were, including Erode under the Coimbatore-Salem Industrial Corridor project, converting Erode district as drone special production centre, focusing on parachute manufacturing in the district, establishing separate industrial estates for textile, food processing and plastics in the district, establishing export hub, establishing railway export terminal at Sipcot in Perundurai and taking steps to control price of fuel. A resolution called for constructing flyovers, public parking lots and ring roads in the city and pedestrian subway near Erode Railway Junction and a flyover at Rangampalayam. The resolution also urged the government to widen the existing roads connecting Tiruchengodu, Chithode and Karur as four-lanes.

Centre appeals against ruling on levy of GST on maintenance charges to resident welfare associations

  The Centre has preferred a writ appeal before the Madras High Court against a single judge's order that flat or villa owners paying more than ₹7,500 a month towards maintenance charges to their residents’ welfare associations must pay Goods and Services Tax (GST) at the rate of 18% only for the amount exceeding ₹7,500 and not for the entire monthly contribution. Justices T.S. Sivagnanam and Sathi Kumar Sukumara Kurup on Wednesday allowed an application filed by the Centre to dispense with production of a certified copy of the judgment passed by Justice Anita Sumanth recently and directed the Registry to list the appeal for admission in the usual course. Justice Sumanth had in July this year quashed an order passed by the Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) on June 21, 2019 as well as a consequent circular issued by the Department of Revenue under the Union Finance Ministry on July 22, 2019 since both of them had insisted upon collecting GST for entire monthly contribution. The jud...
