BJP MP Subramanian Swamy said that it is quite impossible to implement the GST completely and value its functionality in a proper manner unless the private companies get replaced with the state-owned companies in the GST network. This will work as a backbone to the new indirect tax regime.
Industry demanded 18 per cent GST rate as it finds that the April 2017 deadline is hard and will likely generate tax buoyancy without controlling inflation. Industry also demanded relaxation in the penal provisions. According to the sources, the Industry when holding meeting with the state finance ministers said that it is hard to meet the deadline in 2017 as they need sufficient time to develop the IT infrastructure.
The nation has seen the clearing of GST Bill with much more anticipation and the government was also seen in all support with this new tax regime. After all, the GST has something very special to provide for the citizen of India. The said bill is said to subsume all the current indirect tax prevailing in the country.
