The State Minister for Excise and Ports, Mr K. Babu, has said the indirect tax revenue has increased substantially after the introduction of VAT and the State is now gearing up to introduce the GST and chartered accountants have significant role in its implementation.
He said that the Union Finance Minister has instructed all State Governments to convert to the double entry system in accounting within a short span of time. Audit of accounts in Central Excise shall be definitely considered, with the Excise Department being a good revenue generating department for the government, he added.
