The government hailed it as the biggest tax reform of independent India which would herald a new freedom for the nation and unify it with 'One Nation One Tax'. Some of the claims made by the government were that GST would bring about ease of doing business; increase tax collection; lower inflation; increase GDP growth by 1-2 per cent; and check the black economy.\u003cbr\u003e\nMore than a year later, we have more questions than answers.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhy did the economy slow down?\u003cbr\u003e\nIs the government likely to collect more taxes?\u003cbr\u003e\nWhy have prices continued to rise?\u003cbr\u003e\nWhy has Malaysia withdrawn GST?\u003cbr\u003e\nTurns out that problems with GST are both transitional and structural. To correct for these there have been a few hundred notifications and orders from the government which have added to the confusion.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn this book, well-known economist Arun Kumar explains the reality behind GST. Known for not pulling any punches, the author explains why GST is a double-edged sword for the common man, why it will increase inequality across sectors and regions, why it will hurt small businesses-everything the government does not want you to know.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780670091102\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 16.3 x 9.1 x 1.4 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66581271970096,"sku":"Trans_9780670091102","price":239.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/71gBT_0shML.jpg?v=1776874933","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/ground-scorching-tax","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
