Lucknow: With the Modi government keen on rolling out the Goods and Services Tax from July 1, a workshop on the new tax regime will be held here tomorrow for all Uttar Pradesh legislators on the first day of the assembly session.
An official statement said that all members of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly and the Legislative Council will be provided with adequate information on GST.
"MLAs and MLCs of all political parties have been invited for this workshop. All aspects of GST passed by the Lok Sabha will be explained to the legislators," the statement said.
On May 2, the Uttar Pradesh cabinet had approved a draft bill for implementation of the GST in the state.
After the Bill is passed by the assembly, where the BJP has a three-fourth majority, Uttar Pradesh will join states like Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, Telangana, Bihar and Rajasthan whose legislatures have given their nod to the indirect tax regime.
"If there is any burden on the state exchequer due to the implementation of GST, the government will meet the demands for the next five years. Petroleum products, however, will not be covered under GST," he said.
