The idea of a Goods and Services Tax (GST) was, and is, a good idea. Not True GstThe NDA/BJP government violated the principles of a true GST, brushed aside the report of the CEA and constructed its own GST. The biggest sufferers are the small and medium business enterprises, especially manufacturing businesses. Many of the changes were to correct obvious errors in the design and structure, especially the provisions concerning small and medium enterprises. Common sense seems to have returned after subjecting small and medium enterprises to four months of hardship.
