Kerala to block move to alter lottery tax system in next GST Council meet

Minister says he expects at least 11 states to support the stand in today's GST meet

Kerala finance minister T M Thomas Isaac said the state will resist any move to change the current lottery system in the next GST Council meeting.
 
This comes after the council deferred its decision on tax rates on real estate and lottery till February 24.
 
In a detailed post in his social media page, Isaac said, “Kerala will fight tooth and nail against any move to change the current lottery system. We are sure that other opposition states will be with us. A fair share of BJP-ruled states, which do not have lottery, will not have any interest
