The Government of Mizoram has announced stricter Goods and Services Tax (GST) checks for goods entering the state, aiming to curb tax evasion and improve compliance.
The Mizoram government has decided to intensify GST inspections on all goods entering the state. The move comes amid concerns over rising tax evasion and the need to strengthen revenue collection.
Under the new protocol, customs officials will conduct more frequent and thorough checks at key transit points, including the Silchar-Mizoram and Bairabi border crossings. Traders will be required to provide detailed documentation and may face random spot checks.
The state’s Department of Taxation has stated that the initiative will be implemented from next month, with training sessions for officers scheduled to ensure compliance with GST regulations. Businesses operating in Mizoram are advised to review their supply chain processes to avoid delays.
Officials say the stricter checks will help align Mizoram’s tax collection with national standards and reduce the informal economy’s footprint in the region.
