THE BEGINNING OF GST ERA – THE CHALLENGES AHEAD
GST is one of the most radical reforms that have been proposed for the Indian economy after years of political and economic debate. GST is not just a Tax Reform but a Business Reform, as it modifies the way in which business will be done in India. Every Stake holder needs to get ready for the GST likely to be introduced in India from 1st July, 2017. Tax is money and whether the stake holders will gain or loss depends upon the tax schedules, final GST rates and the laws that are framed for availing input tax credit on item-to-item basis or on cross basis. The stake holders need to take immediate steps and start discussions, industry specific, to frame their final view on the draft legislation, as and when released. The impact will be tremendous; laws will be simplified and if the stake holders rightly understand the intricacies of the law, take timely steps to upgrade their business practises and systems; the financial gains will be all pervasive.
Companies that are proactive in preparing for the GST early can gain a real competitive advantage by reducing disruption and maintaining and improving relationships with domestic/international suppliers and customers alike. Starting the analysis of GST process early will help Industries to leverage the opportunities that the new tax system offers, ensure timely compliance and avoid disruption and panic at the later stage.
