BOMDILA : A two-day Goods and Services Tax (GST) awareness programme concluded in Bomdila on Wednesday as part of an ongoing regional tax outreach initiative aimed at promoting tax compliance and improving taxpayer awareness.

The programme, held on June 9 and 10, was jointly organised by the Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Bhalukpong Range and the State Goods and Services Tax (SGST) Bomdila Division. It followed a similar awareness campaign conducted in Seppa on June 4 and 5.

The sessions focused on key aspects of tax compliance, including Tax Deducted at Source (TDS), Tax Collected at Source (TCS), Input Tax Credit (ITC) and GST registration procedures. The initiative sought to simplify tax-related processes for local businesses and deductors.

Resource persons included CGST Bhalukpong Inspectors Chandan Kumar, Samir Shankar and Vishal Singh Rana, along with SGST Bomdila Assistant Commissioner Tsang Norbu Thongdok.

Tezpur-based Chartered Accountant Ankit Setia served as the special faculty for the programme, delivering technical sessions and explaining important legal and procedural aspects of GST compliance.

The programme concluded with an interactive question-and-answer session, allowing traders, entrepreneurs and official deductors to seek clarifications directly from experts.

Officials said such outreach programmes are aimed at fostering a transparent and tax-compliant ecosystem while strengthening engagement between taxpayers and the tax administration. (DIPR)
