New Delhi: Traders’ body CAIT today said the preparedness for GST among small businesses remains a major challenge, as the traders are mostly ill-equipped in terms of technology which is a pre-requisite for complying with the new tax regime. “... Nearly 60 per cent of small businesses in the country have been devoid of digital technology. The basic challenge is that at a time when everything will be routed through digital technology under GST, how will the large number of traders be able to comply with GST from July 1,” the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) said. CAIT Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal said that till the time traders across the country are equipped with technology, some in between measures need to be adopted to help them in GST compliance through digital technology.
