Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema on Tuesday directed the department to further tighten the noose around tax evaders from the service sector, asking the State Intelligence and Preventive Unit (SIPU) and Tax Intelligence Unit (TIU) to work in tandem to trace, track and nab the tax evaders.
At a review meeting of the SIPU, Mr. Cheema said that the department had performed remarkably in checking tax evasion in the trade of goods in the past one year, and now the need of the hour was to put a strong check on the tax evaders in the field of service sectors.
He asked the department to formulate a strong strategy against those registered and non-registered service providers who were not paying GST for the paid services being rendered by them.
