FRACTURED GST IS NOT SUSTAINABLE IN INDIA

ON APRIL 26, 2018 BY NARESH SAGARLEAVE A COMMENTEDIT

CAIT CALLS FOR OVERALL REVIEW OF GST

“Fragmented procedures & compliance have greatly distorted the inherent beauty of GST. The experience of about 9 months of GST implementation in the Country requires an overall review of not only the tax rates but even the prescribed procedures as well. Weaknesses, leakages, loopholes of GST needs to be plugged. Correction of error in classification of goods in different tax slabs particularly under tax slab of 28% beside removing anomalies and disparities to make it a simple and good taxation system which may comply with two basic fundamentals of GST i.e widening of tax base & encouragement to voluntary compliance”- said the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT).

An internal panel of CAIT headed by its National President Mr. B.C.Bhartia has recommonded that now the time has come when the Government should move forward to make GST a stable taxation system by conducting an overall review of GST structure & take remedial measures. No direct communication of the Government with the trading community so far is the root cause for chaos & confusion and as such a permanent mechanism needs to be formed to make regular inter-action both at Centre & State levels-opined the panel.

With GST portal not functioning properly, overlapping of laws, short term measures to provide relief, much lack of awareness about prescribed fundamentals and compliance thereof, variation of tax rates in items pertaining to same vertical, applicability of HSN code for everyone whether big or small, absence of any nodal authority to provide legitimate answers to the queries has multiplied uncertainity about GST and as such it will be appropriate if immediate steps are taken to set the things right.

CAIT National President Mr. B.C.Bhartia and Secretary General Mr.Praveen Khandelwal said that CAIT panels has suggested some immediate measures including abolition of Reverse Charge Mechanism, application of E Way Bill only on inter-state transactions, quarterly returns for turnover upto Rs.100 crores and monthly return for turonver of more than 100 crore turnover, Applicability of HSN Code only on Manufacturers, No tax liability on Purchaser if Seller does not deposit Tax collected by him, Formation of a GST LokPal, Representation to traders in GST Council, Formation of Joint Committee of Government Officials at Centre, State and District level to monitor & regulate GST system, Revisiting 28% tax slab which should be limited to only luxurious & demerit goods, re-classification of goods falling under other tax slabs.

Supreme Court to vote on Lula case starting May 4

ON APRIL 26, 2018 BY NARESH SAGARLEAVE A COMMENTEDIT

Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court (STF) is to vote on a motion starting May 4 that could potentially release ex-president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva from prison, the court said on Wednesday.

Lula’s defense team hopes to overturn a decision by Sergio Moro, a federal judge and head of a key corruption investigation, that determined Lula had to begin serving a 12-year sentence for accepting bribes.

Lula was imprisoned on April 7, effectively derailing his bid to run for a third term in October elections.

STF judges will have until midnight of May 10 to submit their electronic votes, without having to meet in person to debate the case.

Should all the votes be in before the deadline, the much-anticipated results could be announced earlier.

Lula’s Workers’ Party (PT) has said he remains their candidate despite his legal troubles, which it claims have been politically motivated to keep him out of the race.

His lawyers argue that Moro’s decision to have him begin his sentence was premature, since they have not exhausted his appeals process.

PGTI announces return of Feeder Tour after a gap of four years

 Six events with prize purse of Rs. 8 lakh each to be staged this season 

New Delhi, April 26, 2018: The Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) has announced the return of its Feeder Tour after a gap of four years. The 2018 PGTI Feeder Tour season will feature six events with a prize purse of Rs. 8 lakh each.

The PGTI Feeder Tour was last staged in 2014 with six events carrying a prize purse of Rs. 6 lakh each. The 2018 season of the Feeder Tour has thus seen an increase of Rs. 12 lakh (33%) in the combined prize purse which now stands at Rs. 48 lakh.

The Feeder Tour events will have a maximum field of 90 players and will be played over three rounds of 18 holes each with the cut being applied after 36 holes. The winner of this year’s Feeder Tour Order of Merit will earn an exemption on the main tour for the 2019 season.

The Feeder Tour season tees off with the first event which will be played from May 23 – 25, 2018, at the BSF Golf Club in Chhawla, New Delhi. The BSF Golf Club will be hosting its first ever professional event.

The tour then moves to the Aravalli Golf Club, Faridabad, from May 28 – 30. The third event of the season will be played at the Madhuban Meadows Golf Club, Karnal, from June 20 – 22 while the fourth event will be hosted by the Rambagh Golf Club, Jaipur, from June 26 – 28.

The last two events of the season will be held at two different golf courses in Lucknow. While the season’s fifth event takes place at the Lucknow Golf Club from July 4 – 6, the sixth and last event is scheduled to be hosted by the Palms Golf Club & Resort, Lucknow, from July 10 – 12.

Mr. Uttam Singh Mundy, CEO, PGTI, said, “We are proud to announce the revival of the PGTI Feeder Tour after a four-year gap. The Feeder Tour has in the past served as a stepping stone for our professionals as several winners on the tour have later gone on to make an impact on the PGTI. We are confident that the Feeder Tour will once again play a role in strengthening the foundations of professional golf in India. The significant enhancement in the prize purse this season will contribute towards making the Feeder Tour even more competitive than before.”
