Abolition of Central sales tax sought

By Our Staff Reporter

PONDICHERRY, APRIL 4 . The Pondicherry Chamber of Commerce has urged the Lt. Governor, M. M. Lakhera, to ensure abolition of Central Sales Tax when the Value Added Tax comes into force.

Contending that the levy of four per cent CST would increase the prices of commodities originating here, the chamber sought a subsidy to offset the impact.
