India Infrastructure Summit | A curtain-raiser
The India Infrastructure Summit is the largest platform for policy debate relating to infrastructure sector in India. The seventh edition will be held in New Delhi on 16th November.
Post GST, Maharashtra will be the biggest beneficiary
To be honest, at present, it is highly impossible to share any revenue losses and it is not correct on our part to share these numbers without any ground study. Now, you have to consider a couple of factors before we come out with the figures.
GST is the tax system of the 21st century
The most important thing is to view it as a historic opportunity. It is the first major economy-related reform of the Constitution that has happened. It is also an opportunity to create a 21st century tax system.
GST implementation will ensure seamless credit availability
The most crucial tax reform since Independence, GST aims to iron out a multilayered indirect tax system and usher in a uniform tax structure. This development augurs well for the infrastructure sector.
Still a work in progress
The GST regime will facilitate ease of doing business, but the government has to ensure that there is no adversarial impact on the infrastructure sector during the rollout, says PRATIK JAIN.
Most complex tax regime by far
The macroeconomic aspects of GST haven´t been taken into account. If the government says that it will collect more revenue, then that means that prices will have to rise because it´s an indirect tax. If prices rise, then industrial output would tend to stagnate or decline.
