<h1>Tobacco Institute of India Advocates Using GST to Curb Illegal Cigarette Trade and Boost Revenue for Farmers.</h1> The Tobacco Institute of India (TII) suggests utilizing the Goods and Services Tax (GST) to combat the illegal cigarette trade in India. Representing major legal cigarette manufacturers, TII highlights the potential benefits for distressed tobacco farmers and increased government revenue. With over 98% of domestic duty-paid cigarette sales, the institute emphasizes the opportunity GST presents to address smuggling issues. Recent media reports indicate a rise in cigarette seizures, underscoring the problem's severity. A FICCI report identifies cigarettes as one of the top five smuggled goods, affecting the government, domestic industry, and society. The government aims to implement GST by July 1.
