We play a key role in fostering awareness of the GST and guide on what steps our clients should take pre and post introduction of GST. Goods & Service Tax (GST) is the largest indirect tax reform in India since independence. GST is a pan-India single unified tax on both Goods and Services, levied only on ‘value-added’ to goods and services at each stage in the economic supply chain. 
GST is not just a change in tax, it is expected to have a far-reaching impact on each facet of business operations in the country such as pricing of products and services, supply chain optimization, IT, accounting and tax compliance systems. It will impact the tax structure, tax incidence, tax computation, tax payment, compliance, credit utilization, and reporting, leading to a complete overhaul of the current indirect tax system.
