Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has directed Commercial Tax Department officers to take strict action against cases of tax evasion, tax leakage, and tax pilferage in Karnataka.
The Chief Minister chaired a review meeting of the department and appreciated the 19.2% growth rate in the collection of tax by the department, which is the highest in the country. He said that officers should not be satisfied by this and must explore opportunities to detect tax evasion cases by intensive enforcement to exceed the tax collection target.
