Key changes in oil industries post GST implementation  discussed

Imphal, July 6 : Key changes in oil industries after implementation of GST were discussed during a seminar cum awareness programme at Classic Hotel here on Thursday.
Participating in the programme, Oil Industry Manipur state level coordinator SI Singh said kerosene and LPG products have so far come under the ambit of Goods and Services Tax (GST) while diesel, petrol and aviation fuel have not been brought under the regime.
He rejected a recent a media report that Domestic cooking gas (LPG) price had been hiked by up to Rs 32 per cylinder following GST came into effect.  
“News carried by a section of the press is not correct that LPG price has been hiked post GST implementation,” SI Singh said during the programme organised by the Oil Industry Manipur, State Level Coordinator.  
GST came into effect from July 1 following which at least 17 state and federal taxes were replaced by the new tax regime.
