GST biggest indirect tax reform: Capt Abhimanyu
Chandigarh: Haryana Finance Minister Capt Abhimanyu on Saturday said that by bringing in Goods and Services Tax (GST) law, the Government has implemented the biggest indirect tax reform since independence. With the onset of the GST regime, the problem of multiple taxation, disparate tax rate structure and dissimilar trade practices will be eliminated. He said that the tax practices would be harmonized to the best possible extent to pave the way for single tax replacing 17 different types of taxes. The advent of GST will pave the way for ‘One Nation, One Tax, One Market’.
