there are no latest developments as of today. the state finance ministers should meet the central fin min and resolve the issue of loss compensation to the states on acc of reduction of CST. till then it is only 3% against C form.
Reduction of rate from 4% to 3% was carried through taxation laws amendment Act. For reduction of rate from 3% to 2% also amendment to section 8 of CST is necessary. This will require intruction of Bill and passing into an Act or else an ordinance has to be passed. Apparently notification u/s 8(5) will not suffice.
what is the notification number? the economic times does not mention the notification any place though the times of india says it will be 2% from June 1
the confusion continues ..............................
