CII Mizoram State Level One Day Workshop on IT & GST 2025
On 22nd May 2025, CII Mizoram organized a State Level One Day Workshop on Income Tax Returns (ITR) and Goods and Services Tax (GST) at the Aijal Club. The event was graced by Dr. Vanlalthlana, Minister of State for School Education, Higher & Technical Education, Taxation, and Information & Public Relations, Government of Mizoram, who attended as the Chief Guest. Senior officials from the Taxation Department of the Government of Mizoram were also present. The primary objective of the workshop was to bridge the knowledge gap on taxation and address the emerging challenges faced by the people of Mizoram regarding tax compliance.
Dr. Vanlalthlana emphasized the importance of tax payment, stating that it is a duty and responsibility that should not be viewed as a burden. He expressed his appreciation for CII’s initiative to organize the workshop, highlighting the need for more awareness programs to encourage timely payment of GST and ITR. According to him, such compliance plays a vital role in reducing and preventing corruption in the State, and evading taxes equates to corruption.
