The following difference are occurring in case of State List and the Centre's List for Goods & Service Tax (GST):

• As of now, the exempt list of states contains 96 items whereas the Centre's list has 243 items.
• Common exemption list for goods and services sought so that fewer items remains outside the indirect tax net.
• States also recommend traders with a turnover of less than Rs 1.5 crores be exempt from the dual control which leads to tax overburden.
