Description Present indirect taxation structure in India, as on date, has witnessed a lot of demerits which hampers the process of equitable growth among Numerous flaws in our prevailing taxation structure like, cascading effect, different tax rates for a commodity, lack of relief on exports issuance of various forms and many others has made it just like lame man. Finally, the government has taken an initiative to overcome these inherent weaknesses and inconveniencies by introducing a tax reform, Goods and Services Tax (GST). GST will bring about a change in the tax system by redistributing the burden of taxation equitably between manufacturing activity and activity of service. GST will enable broadening of the tax base, which will further result in reduction in effective rate of tax. It will reduce distortions by applying the destination principle for levy of taxes. ............................................................................................................................
