FM Nirmala Sitharaman: Many new decisions have been taken by the Central Government while in power. Many states, including the general public, have benefited greatly from the GST system implemented by the Union Finance Minister.
Nirmala Sitharaman has now told about the benefits of Goods and Service Tax. The Finance Minister has told that GST has been very beneficial for the North Eastern states. After the introduction of the new tax system, the state of Tripura has benefited a lot.
GST collection increased
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that there has been a massive increase in revenue collection in Tripura after the introduction of the new tax system. While inaugurating the new building of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Department in Agartala, the capital of Tripura, Sitharaman said that the GST collection of this northeastern state has increased to Rs 982.50 crore in the financial year 2022-23, while its share in the Central Sales Tax collection in the financial year 2016-17 was Rs 4.61 crore.
GST was implemented in 2017.
Describing GST as a consumption-based tax system, he said that if consumption increases in any state, GST collection will increase there. “The revenue collection in Tripura has been very good since the implementation of GST in July 2017,” he said.
GST registration is necessary
Sitharaman said that big companies do not like to do business with companies that do not have GST registration, so staying away from it will not be beneficial for businessmen.
Sitharaman

The tax collection of Sikkim has increased from Rs 263.5 crore to Rs 3,036 crore and that of Meghalaya has increased from Rs 587.21 crore to Rs 2,078 crore.
