Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is set to inaugurate a conference on Monday, bringing together enforcement chiefs from all state and central GST officers to address tax evasion challenges. The conference will focus on strategies to combat GST evasion, including analyzing current obstacles and learning from successful enforcement methods employed by central and state tax officers. Discussions will also revolve around tackling fake invoicing, exchanging best practices, promoting collaboration, and harnessing technology and data.
Furthermore, the conference aims to strike a balance between facilitating a conducive business environment and implementing effective enforcement measures. Sitharaman will deliver the keynote address at the one-day event, emphasizing the importance of cooperative federalism demonstrated by GST. This gathering provides a valuable platform for GST enforcement authorities at both the central and state levels to exchange insights, enhance mutual learning, and collectively strengthen the GST administration.
