Chartered Accountant Sanjeev Malhotra, the key speaker, said that Introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a step in the reform of indirect taxation in India. Amalgamating several Central and State taxes into a single tax would mitigate crusading or double taxation, defoliating a common national market. The simplicity of the tax should lead to easier administration and enforcement. From the consumer point of view, the biggest advantage would be in terms of a reduction in the overall tax burden on goods, which is currently estimated at 25%-30%, free movement of goods from one state to another without stopping at state borders for hours for payment of state tax or entry tax and reduction in paperwork to a large extent.
Also present during the event were Mr. Gurdev Singh, Mr. Robby Wassist, Mr. Amit Jain, Mr. Teja Singh, Mr. Pankaj Kalra, Mr. Sukhwinder Singh, Mr. Jatinder Sudhera and Mr. Rajesh Krishan.
