About the Internship at Department of Revenue
The Department of Revenue has a mandate to carry out tax reforms in the country. The Department is actively pursuing work related to the introduction of Goods and Services Tax in the country.
The proposed Goods and Services Tax is expected to subsume a large number of Central taxes like Central Excise Duty, Service Tax, Countervailing Duty, etc., and State taxes and levies like VAT/Sales Tax, Entry Tax, and Entertainment Tax, etc.
In view of the preparatory work associated with the introduction of Goods and Services Tax, a need for an internship programme in the Department has been felt so that the officers of the Department, particularly in the State Taxes Division, are able to interact with young scholars with brilliant academic backgrounds from reputed academic institutions.
The programme is expected to enable the Department to critically analyze various aspects of the Goods and Services Tax on the basis of fresh ideas from the field of academics and, simultaneously, is expected to help interns familiarize themselves with the process of development of this important tax reform at the national level.
