Finance Conclave Organized by Vikalpa, the Finance Forum of School of Management

“Goods and services tax is expected to bring about a transition from origin-based tax to destination-based tax regime. Therefore, this will provide impetus to those states where the consumption is more. This will alleviate the current deficiency in the indirect tax regime that favors only those states that are good at manufacturing. Further, the system of allowing input tax credits will ensure that more number of businessmen will become tax-compliant. Business transactions will get digitized. Thus, the GST is expected to lead to increased revenue as well as increased rate of GDP”, said CA Mr. Vinayak Pai, a practicing chartered accountant of Bangalore. He was speaking on the occasion of the Finance conclave organized by Vikalpa, the Finance forum of School of Management, 沙巴体育 Academy of Higher Education.

Measures such as tackling benami properties, a strong public resolution to reject any involvement in corrupt deals, transparency in political funding are all required to counter the threat of black money and the resultant parallel economy, he argued.
