With GST govt is planning to force many companies to restructure their operations, passing on the benefit of lower tax to consumers, keeping inflation rate low and substantial boost to economic growth. The Indian government is going to welcome GST in the tax structure of the country. 

According to the Amendment Bill, it will replace some indirect tax. And the experts opine that it will be highly fruitful to the growth of the economy. More than one tax creates a complicated system, and many businesses have faced the adverse effect. So, if the government enforces GST, it will lead to the positive environment. 

However, there is one section of Indian citizens, who are thinking that this new tax system won’t be beneficial in any way. Let’s now see whether GST will generate great profit or considerable loss in the corporate world. Many benefits are expected to be passed on to the end user, govt has already asked telecom companies to cut prices, pass GST benefits to customers. DK Joshi, chief economist of Crisil has written in his report:

It’s not optimal, but let the best not be the enemy of the good. Even with its imperfections, it could usher in significant benefits, especially through a quantum leap in transaction trails and logistical efficiency.
