No GST loss to Goa from out-of-state corporate billing: CM Sawant
Last Updated: Panaji, Jul 23 (PTI) Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has said Goa has not incurred any loss in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) revenue due to companies routing their sales and billing through corporate offices located outside the state. In a written reply tabled in the Goa assembly on Tuesday during the ongoing monsoon session, Sawant, who also holds the finance portfolio, said the GST regime rolled out with effect from July 01, 2017 is a destination or consumption-based tax regime. 'Therefore, the tax on goods and/or services gets accrued to the State/UT where it is actually consumed," Sawant said. 'Therefore, there is no question of loss of any revenue as it is the basic principle of this taxation regime and the State of Goa gets GST on all goods/services actually consumed in Goa irrespective of where they were manufactured," he said. The chief minister said that on the same lines for all goods manufactured within Goa, the tax will accrue to the respective State/UT where they are actually consumed. 'The part of goods which are manufactured within Goa, if are also consumed within Goa then the tax accrues to the State of Goa," he said. The monsoon session of the Goa assembly began on Monday and will conclude on August 8.

'Weak Attempt At Distraction': Obama On Trump's Allegations Of Russian Interference In 2016 Polls
Barack Obama's office rejected Donald Trump's treason accusations, reiterating that Russia tried to influence the 2016 election but did not manipulate votes. The office of US Democratic former President Barack Obama on Tuesday said that a document issued last week by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence does not undercut the conclusion that Russia tried to influence the 2016 US election. The document, however, did not manipulate any votes, it said. The development came after US President Donald Trump accused Obama of 'treason" on Tuesday, blaming him for leading an effort to falsely tie him to Russia and undermine his 2016 presidential campaign. 'Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes," Obama's office said in a statement. 'These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction," Obama's office said. While Trump has frequently attacked Obama by name, the Republican President has not, since returning to office in January, gone this far in pointing the finger at his Democratic predecessor with allegations of criminal action, Reuters reported. She declassified documents and said the information she was releasing showed a 'treasonous conspiracy" in 2016 by top Obama administration officials to undermine Trump, claims that Democrats called false and politically motivated. 'It's there, he's guilty. This was treason," Trump said on Tuesday, though he offered no proof of his claims. 'They tried to steal the election, they tried to obfuscate the election. They did things that nobody's ever imagined, even in other countries." THE DOCUMENT An assessment by the US intelligence community published in January 2017 concluded that Russia, using social media disinformation, hacking and Russian bot farms, sought to damage Democrat Hillary Clinton's campaign and bolster Trump. The assessment determined that the actual impact was likely limited and showed no evidence that Moscow's efforts actually changed voting outcomes. A 2020 bipartisan report by the Senate intelligence committee had found that Russia used Republican political operative Paul Manafort, the WikiLeaks website and others to try to influence the 2016 election to help Trump's campaign. view comments First Published: July 23, 2025, 08:53 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
