It brings benefits to all the stakeholders of Industry, Government and the consumer. It will lower the cost of goods and services and gives a boost to the economy and makes the products and services globally competitive. GST aims to make India a common market with common tax rates and producers and remove the economic barriers thus paving the way for an integrated economy at the national level.
The GST outreach programme was essentially intended to bring all the stakeholders tax development of the central/state governments and tax payers under one common platform.
