Benefits of GST  To economy – A study by the National Council of Applied Economic Research estimated that roll out of the tax would boost the GDP growth by anywhere between per cent. GST will boost up economic unification of India. It will assist in better conformity and recover risk factors in revenue generation and increase its flexibility.  To corporate – The industries will benefit the most from the arrival of GST as removal of cascading taxes makes the manufacturing sector more competitive and reduces the tax compliance burden. All entry taxes, including octroi will be subsumed in GST from the start. So with no embedded tax costs on inter-state movement of goods (CST or entry taxes) under the GST regime, and shift of taxation to the consumer ultimately, businesses would have more flexibility to revise their supply chains process and thus, optimize logistics costs.
