Hi All,

Can anyone please help clarify on what will happen to stocks with a trader that were purchased at a lower VAT rate for eg at 14% vs the new GST rate applicable would be 28%. Who will have to bear the incidence of higher tax. Are there any other provisions one should be aware of transition goods ?
