Abstract
After a marathon debate on Goods and Services Tax (GST) bill finally India witnessed the biggest tax reform after her independence. At the midnight of 30th June, 2017 GST was launched and legally enforced by the Indian Government. It is the biggest tax reform in independent India in last 70 years and will help to modernise Asia’s third largest economy. GST is passed to imply the principle of “One Nation One Tax”. GST has oriented the Indian federal system from fiscal federalism to cooperative federalism. It is replacing the multiple layers of complex taxation currently existing in India and expected to result in simplification of indirect tax structure (at both Centre and State level). Present article includes several aspects of GST. A sincere effort has been made to highlight the implications of GST for government, industries and consumers along with its probable effects on the economy. Besides, practical difficulties related to GST have also been discussed in brief.
