| Author: Indira Y. Ausare |
| Abstract: The recent amendments in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system have significantly transformed the retail business landscape in India. These changes aim to simplify compliance, enhance transparency, and promote digitalization in tax administration. Key amendments include the introduction of e-invoicing for small businesses, rationalization of tax slabs, automation in return filing, and faster input tax credit (ITC) reconciliation. These reforms reduce the burden of manual processes and improve cash flow management for retailers. By ensuring uniform taxation and reducing cascading effects, GST amendments have made pricing more competitive and improved business efficiency. The simplified registration and return filing procedures have encouraged small retailers to move into the formal economy. Additionally, the adoption of technology-driven mechanisms minimizes tax evasion and promotes fair trade practices. Overall, the new GST amendments strengthen the retail sector by fostering compliance, transparency, and growth, contributing to India’s goal of building a more robust and inclusive economy. Author aims to study the benefits of amendments made in GST recently to small retail businesses. |
