Raipur. The Commercial Tax (GST) department has abolished the exemption given in the provisions of e-way bill in the state. The government has issued a notification on May 24 itself. It will now be necessary for businessmen in the state to generate e-way bill for transporting goods worth more than 50 thousand rupees. Till now it was not necessary to issue e-way bill for transporting goods within a district in the state. Also, e-way bill was not required for transporting any goods within the state except 15 goods.
Exemption from the provisions of e-way bill was given in the year 2018 because these provisions were new and it was necessary to give time to businessmen/transporters to become well acquainted with these provisions. It has been 6 years now since the provisions of e-way bill were implemented across the country and everyone has become well acquainted with it. It is worth mentioning here that except for one or two states, e-way bill is mandatory for transportation of goods within the state in most of the states of the country. The Central Tax Department has also agreed to end the exemption from e-way bill.
The exemption given in issuing e-way bill has been most misused by those doing circular trading and issuing bogus bills, so the most benefit of ending this exemption will be to those businessmen who pay their taxes honestly, but due to circular trading or issuing bogus bills, they do not get the benefit of ITC. Implementation of the provisions of e-way bill will help the department in stopping circular trading and bogus billing. Ending the exemption given in the provisions of e-way bill will have a positive impact on the environment of tax compliance in the state. This will curb the tendencies of issuing bogus bills, issuing raw bills and evading taxes.
