The department does invite objections and suggestions from the business community viz. trade associations, trade chambers, confederations, individual dealers and sales tax practitioners and the general public  from time to time while making any amendments in the Act and Rules.  Members of the Sales Tax Bar Association (a registered body) are also consulted.   Besides, Sales Tax Advisory Committee consisting of representatives of trade associations and tax practitioners already exists in the department.
