Ensuring Hassle-free Business Across the Nation

This refers to your cover story The Die Is Cast. No doubt, there would be teething troubles for small businesses as they are not tech-savvy and do not even use computers for accounting purposes. It is also a fact that some items will be cheaper and some dearer. The prime objective of launching this “one nation, one tax” reform is to not only ensure hassle-free business across the country, but also widen the tax net. It is an open secret that most business communities try to evade tax as much as possible and a majority of them shows bare minimum profits, while the service class religiously pays taxes regularly. But our government needs sufficient money to fund public infrastructure and welfare schemes. So, it is high time – for each and everyone of us – to understand that this move is largely in the interest of the nation. Bal Govind, Noida
