GST must become an economic partnership, not just tax collection tool: CBIC chief Vivek Chaturvedi

·Economic Times·Impact 2/5 · Moderate

The Chairman of the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs, Vivek Chaturvedi, has called for the Goods and Services Tax (GST) to be transformed into a more collaborative economic partnership. This shift would move beyond its current role as a tax collection tool. By doing so, GST can help reduce compliance burdens for taxpayers and improve their overall experience. Simplifying tax administration processes will likely have a positive impact on businesses and the economy as a whole.
