GST needs to be simplified further, say seafood exporters

Margao, Goa, Jan 29 (UNI) Seafood exporters attending the ongoing three-day India International Seafood Show (IISS) here have acknowledged that the central government has addressed a lot of their concerns over the Goods and Services Tax (GST), but said a number of GST provisions continued to be in the grey area, impeding their trade.
Participating in a technical session dealing with various aspects of processing and export of marine products, they said they were happy with the merger of multiplicity of central and state-level taxes into single GST. However, they were finding it difficult to understand the nuances of the new tax regime.
While the tax refund procedure had been clarified and simplified, exporters were yet to get the refunds as there was no timeline for the purpose. Among the other thorny issues were merchant exporters’ warehouses and claiming drawback benefit, which took into account only the central GST, not the state GST.
