Mangaluru, Mar 3: The Bearys Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) will be conducting a seminar on Goods and Services Tax (GST) on March 7 at 4.30 pm at IMA Hall, near Noor Mosque, Hampankatta.

GST is soon going to be a very integral part of all business transactions. It is a proposed system of indirect taxation in India merging most of the existing taxes into a single system of taxation. Merging of several central and state taxes into a single tax would mitigate cascading or double taxation, facilitating a common national market. The simplicity of the tax should lead to easier administration and enforcement.

S M Rasheed Haji, president of BCCI will preside over the seminar. Interaction and questions and answer session will be held at the end.

Resource persons for the programme are:
Keynote address by B A Naniappa, MA joint commissioner of commercial taxes, (enforcement), West Zone.

Overview and scope of supply of GST, by H G Pavithra, MA, joint commissioner of commercial taxes, (admin) vat division.
