Respected All,

While having a comparative study between Present & Previous Taxation System, we observe that in present system of taxation the actual liability of GST is only on Common Man and not on Business Entity. In previous taxation system even business entity as end consumer was liable to pay VAT, because retail invoice was considered as end consumer irrespective common man or business entity. Thus the receipt of GST may increase but income through GST will decrease, because business entity is not going to pay actual GST on end consumed products and services.

Thanking You,
