The service tax, a long-time corner stone of India's governmental revenue system, has been phasing out of implementation in the 21st century. The Finance Minister of India has said that it is a short-term goal of the Indian government to eventually merge the service tax into the country's general goods and service tax. The service tax aims to rake in government revenues by taxing all services provided within the country. It is India's Central Board of Excise and Customs that is in charge of administering the tax and overseeing it's implementation. If the surcharge is eventually merged fully with other goods and services taxes, the administering authority could change.
