The Assam government is cracking the whip on tax evasion with raids in business establishments in different parts of the state leading to uncovering of tax suppression of around Rs 5.80 crore, official statements said on Friday.
The search and seizure operations were carried out in Barpeta Road, Jorhat and Tinsukia, the state’s Finance (Taxation) department said in three separate statements issued for each of the raids.
“State GST department is gearing up to detect such unscrupulous dealers so that the revenue of the state is safeguarded. Search and seizure/arrest of such unscrupulous taxpayers will create deterrence for such activities and it will make them think twice before indulging in such activities,” it said.
