CONFERENCE ON GST

on

SATURDAY, 26 JUNE 2010



Dear Sir / Madam:


Greetings from School of Law, Christ University and Lakshmi Kumaran & Sridharan.

The replacement of the state taxes by the Value Added Tax in 2005 marked a significant step forward in the reform of domestic trade taxes in India. Buoyed by the success of the State VAT, the Centre and the States have now embarked on the design and implementation of the perfect solution alluded to in the Bagchi Report. As announced by the Empowered Committee of State Finance Ministers in November 2007, the solution is to take the form of a ‘Dual’ Goods and Services Tax (GST), to be levied concurrently by both levels of Government. The Conference is an endeavor to discuss the political, social and economic character of GST and its impact on different sectors of the economy, and households in different social and economic strata of the nation.

The objective of this Conference is to bring about a multidisciplinary discussion on the subject so as to explore the implications of GST in India. Broadly the Conference has been divided into two themes – the Interplay between the State Tax Laws and GST and the Interplay between the Central Tax Laws and GST.

The themes will be discussed in two sessions. Each session will constitute of a Tax practitioner, a Senior Chartered Accountant, a Government Official (Commissioner / Additional commissioner of Sales Tax) and a representative from the Industry (Consulting firms / Manufacturers).


The confirmed speakers include:

Mr. B.T. Manohar, FKCCI Chairman

Mr.S. Venkataramani, Tax practitioner

Mr. Pradeep Singh Kharola, I.A.S, Commissioner of Commercial Taxes

Mr. V. Raghuraman, Advocate, Partner, Raghuraman & Chythanya, Advocates

Mr. G. Shivadass, Partner, Lakshmi Kumaran & Sridharan, Bangalore
