GST Council fails to break deadlock over control of assessees for the third time in one month
Consensus in sight on cess; dual control hurdle remains
A state can be compensated if revenue under GST falls short of the average tax earnings in best three years out of past five years
The threshold has been fixed at Rs 20 lakh annual turnover; the GST rate and tax slabs would be decided at its three-day meeting beginning Oct 17
It will be chaired by the Union finance minister and have minister of finance or taxation or any minister chosen by each state as its member
The meeting was attended by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and senior officials of the Prime Ministers Office and finance ministry
Only after its recommendations will the central GST, integrated GST and state GST Bills be taken up
