Facilitated by the Delhi Dialogue and Development Commission, the government signed a contract Wednesday with the Centre for Effective Governance of Indian States (CEGIS) in this regard, an official statement said.
“It’s an important step in Delhi government’s resolve to bring in tax reforms. We have tied up with CEGIS who will provide… comprehensive data analysis on GST, vehicle tax, stamp duty, excise duty, along with comparative state analysis for benchmarking to further improve our tax revenue capacity,” Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said. He added that Delhi may see newer tax reforms and enforcement measures in the near future based on recommendations by experts.
