<h1>State Check Posts for Tax Collection End Under GST From July 1, Alcohol Excise Points May Stay.</h1> State-level check posts for collecting taxes on goods movement will be eliminated under the GST regime starting July 1, while excise points for alcohol taxation may remain, according to the Revenue Secretary. The GST will standardize rates, removing the need for physical checks on goods movement across states. However, state excise duties on alcohol will persist. Petroleum and alcohol products are excluded from GST until further decisions by the GST Council. The service tax rate for the transportation sector is under discussion, potentially differing due to the lack of input tax credit on petrol and diesel. The GST Council will finalize rates in its upcoming meeting.
