The National Law School of India Review (NLSIR),
the flagship journal of the National Law School of India University (NLSIU),
Bangalore is pleased to announce the 9th
Annual NLSIR Symposium on Goods and Services Tax: The Changing Face
of Fiscal Federalism in India scheduled to be held on 14-15 May, 2016 at the International
Training Centre, National Law School of India University, Bangalore. This
year, the Symposium seeks to engage with the topical issue of the Goods and
Services Tax (GST) regime that is proposed to be introduced by the Constitution
(122nd Amendment) Bill, 2014. Having been stalled for a significant period of
time, the passing of the Bill is now imminent, and the far reaching changes
that it makes to the indirect taxation regime in India make it a ripe topic for
detailed critical examination. Given the novelty of many of the proposed
changes, the Symposium seeks to promote an informed discussion among various
stakeholders regarding the impact and legal implications of such changes.
