AAP calls GST on research grants 'tax terrorism', demands withdrawal

India Today  

The Aam Aadmi Party slammed the BJP-led central government on Saturday over the imposition of Goods and Services Tax on research grants, describing the move as "tax terrorism". For the first time in history, a government is imposing a tax on grants received by research institutes, AAP general secretary Sandeep Pathak said at a press conference. The Modi government has issued a notice to all institutes, proposing to impose GST on research grants received since 2017, he said, adding that it was a double layer of taxation since a part of the grants is used on consumables and equipment that are already taxed. A show-cause notice has been issued to all premier institutes that they will have to pay GST on all research grants they have received from 2017 till now.
