Minister for Finance, Planning and Commercial Taxes Buggana Rajendranath Reddy inaugurated Regional GST and Enforcement Office on Besant Road here on Friday.
Later addressing a press conference, the Finance Minister said the Andhra Pradesh State Goods and Service Tax (SGST) collections were higher than the Central GST (CGST), which was the highest in the country. He dared the Opposition parties to a debate on the State’s finances.
Mr. Rajendranath Reddy said there was no iota of truth in the allegations being made by a few people on the State taxes, revenue and administration. If the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) were really incompetent, how had the State progressed and developed during the last four years, he asked.
