<h1>GST Rollout Delayed as Council Struggles with Taxpayer Administration; Dual Control Issue Remains Unresolved; Compensation Changes Approved.</h1> The GST Council made progress on legislations for the new tax regime but delayed discussions on taxpayer administration, making the April 1 rollout unlikely. The Council decided to change compensation payments to states from quarterly to bi-monthly and expanded the compensation fund sources. The issue of dual control over taxpayers remains unresolved, with states and the Centre disagreeing on control criteria. The Council aims to finalize the Integrated-GST legislation, crucial for the new regime, at its next meeting. Finance Minister expressed efforts to expedite the process, despite the unresolved dual control issue and pending legal language approval.
