As we are running the last laps of the GST marathon, there could not have been more opportune time than this to release the Fourth Edition of the ‘Guide to GST’. The GST Bills have received President’s assent and the States legislatures are approving their respective State GST laws. With few last laps left viz. finalisation of underlining Rules, introduction of tax
rate slabs and other administrative nuances, the stage is set for the final countdown of GST and implementation by July 1, 2017.Having enjoyed the roller coaster ride of introduction of GST in one of the largest democracy of the world, right from the Kelkar task Force Report recommendations to the finalisation of fine print of the GST law, it’s time to bid adieu to the archaic regulations and the spider’s web of complex and multiple regulations.Now, it’s the time to welcome the era of one unified market, digital transactions and e-governance.

Every tax payer under GST will report electronically monthly for every State at transaction level or aggregate, with a single portal called GST Network (GSTN) and will match their GST credits basis their sales and purchase and pay net GST.

However, in times to come, this would certainly evolve into something ideal for the Indian economy and provide the much needed buoyancy to its growth rate
