AIADMK leader seeks to put VAT on hold

Special Correspondent

Puducherry: Secretary of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam A.. Anbalagan, MLA, has urged the Territorial Government to keep on hold implementation of the Value Added Tax to be enforced in the Union Territory on July 1.

Addressing presspersons here on Wednesday, Mr. Anbalagan said that the administration had resorted to an ordinance to enforce the VAT, although in all the other States the tax regime was implemented through a legislation. Mr. Anbalagan said that there was confusion among traders, dealers and industrialists on pattern of taxation.

There should be a special session of the Assembly to address these grievances. He wanted to know whether revenue would go up or would be affected, since Central Sales Tax was worrying merchants . AIADMK legislators Ohm Shakthi Segar and M.V.Omalingam were present.
