 "Ajay Bhushan Pandey, Revenue Secretary")
GST rates can be reduced further once the tax base increases and everyone pays taxes properly, Finance Secretary Ajay Bhushan Pandey said on Thursday.
"Once the tax base increases and if we are able to enforce our tax laws and everyone pays taxes properly, there will be definitely scope for further reduction of taxes," he said.
Addressing a session on 'Digitisation in Governance' at CAPAM 2020, he said the ultimate aim should be to collect minimum taxes at minimum rates.
"The government should collect taxes which are absolutely necessary and to that extent, we need to increase our tax base,"
