New Delhi, Jan 18 (PTI) The all-powerful GST Council today veered around the idea of making the GST return filing process simpler to ease compliance burden for small businesses.
The panel, headed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and comprising representatives of all states, at its 25th meeting today decided to reduce tax rate on 29 items and 54 categories of services with effect from January 25.
Briefing reporters after the meeting, Jaitley said the next meeting of the Council may consider bringing items like crude oil, natural gas, petrol, diesel, ATF and real estate within the GST purview.

After implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) from July 1, the requirement of carrying e-way bill was postponed pending IT network readiness.
Once the e-way bill system is implemented, tax avoidance will become extremely difficult as the government will have details of all goods above the value of ₹ 50,000 moved and can spot the mismatch if either the supplier or the purchaser does not file tax returns.
