Exemptions under dual GST are key challenges
One of the key challenges in the implementation of a Goods and Services Tax (GST) is with regard to exemptions from the tax for specified goods and services. In the Indian context, given the plethora of exemptions that currently exist in regard to numerous goods and services, under the respective Central and state laws, the challenge is a larger one. The matter gets complicated if one were to consider that in addition to the exemptions, there exist exemptions from the tax, both Central and State, that are based on the geographic locations of the manufacturing units.

Half-burnt body of Indian found, Oz says don't create hysteria

Days after a 21-year-old Indian was stabbed to death here, the Australian police today said that a partially-charred body of another youth from the country was found in New South Wales, even as Canberra asked New Delhi not to whip up “hysteria” over such incidents. - Partially burnt body of Indian migrant found in Australia - Indo-Aus officials to meet after latest killing - Aus says will cooperate with Garg"s family - Indian student flow to Australia may drop 50% - Indian youth murdered in Australia; India reacts angrily - Conclusion of Doha talks needs tough political will: Australia The body of the 25-year-old victim was found on a roadside near Griffith in New South Wales on December 29. The police are yet to name the man but they are in touch with his family in India to help with identification. The incident came amid diplomatic efforts by both countries to ease strains in ties over frequent attacks on Indians. Media reports said the youth could be the victim of a labour dispute as there had been a rise in Indian students working as contract labourers in western NSW and there were complaints that they were being exploited and underpaid. Acting Foreign Minister Simon Crean said there was no evidence to suggest the attack on Nitin Garg, was racially- motivated.
