Streamline taxes with GST, says trade

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) may be halfway through in India, but the trade appears largely divided on the issue.

TRAVTALK reached out to the industry to gauge the overall mood. A whopping 82 per cent voted for GST as a tool to streamline taxes, about 12 per cent said it'll burden the customer more and might affect business and 6 per cent expect the business to run as usual. As they wait with bated breath to see what GST will bring in its wake, it's heartening to see the trade seeing the bright side of this much-debated but little-understood tax system.
