Chief commissioners of central excise at a two-day conference, which concluded today, made a case for further simplification of taxation procedures with a view to improve ease of doing business in the country.
The conference, which was organised at Chandigarh, also discussed most of the issues regarding tax assessment, a statement said.
"The conference identified issues where further simplification of business processes needs to be carried out to augment the efforts of the government towards 'Make in India' campaign," it added.
Attended by chief commissioners and principal commissioners of central excise from across the country, the conference discussed ways to "resolve most of the issues to bring out certainty in assessment, uniformity in practices across the country and clarity in understanding (of) the legal issues."
It is expected the resolution of large number of technical issues in central excise taxation would reduce litigation and improve ease of doing business, the statement said.
The conference, which concluded today, also deliberated on a large number of issues relating to central excise law affecting the manufacturers of the goods.
