MeridStreet AI summary

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council is set to meet in New Delhi on October 8, following a meeting in September. Tax experts are urging the council to focus on reforming processes and compliance, rather than just adjusting tax rates. This shift in focus is crucial for the smooth functioning of the GST system, which has been in place since 2017. Improved processes and compliance will help reduce complexities and make it easier for businesses to operate under the GST regime.
