Good morning everyone present. I am going to express my views on the recently implemented GST by the Indian Finance Ministry. Any new change introduced in any system is received with reluctance by many people. Similarly, there were different responses to GST. However, the Government implemented it with the purpose of bringing uniformity and transparency in the taxation system in the country. GST has many advantages. It will reduce number of indirect taxes. There will also be no hidden taxes, which will lower the cost of production. It will make the taxation system corruption free.
Technically, GST is good for all. It will help the nation to achieve its economical and developmental goals faster. There are many advanced countries in the world where GST is used. We should all welcome this new change which has been implemented with the purpose of ending corruption in our country. Initially there will be some people and political parties that will raise hue and cry opposing the GST implementation, however soon the entire nation, especially the poor people will reap many benefits of this implementation.
