Traders and industry associations in Erode seek GST taxpayers’ advisory panel

The Federation of All Trade and Industry Associations of Erode District (FATIA) has urged the State government to constitute a GST taxpayers’ advisory committee to address the grievances of traders.

At the federation’s general body meeting held here recently, the members adopted 11 resolutions covering taxation, infrastructure, industrial development and civic issues. The federation sought a committee headed by the Chief Minister at the State level and the Collector at the district level to address traders’ grievances. It also urged the government to allow sawmills to renew their license without insisting on a fresh No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board. The federation said sawmills engaged in selling timber for domestic and industrial use did not cause pollution affecting the public.
