Terming GST as a good and simple tax the Minister said that it has ended harassment of traders and small skill entrepreneurs while integrating India into one market with one tax rate. It has made a very positive impact on our economy in such a short span of time, Shukla added
These schemes will increase the degree of formalisation of the economy, broaden the tax base and promote expenditure efficiency through rationalisation of government schemes and better-targeted delivery will support the expected improvement in India’s fiscal matrix over the next few years.
