One Nation One Tax - GST
Our FM mentioned that there were nearly 80 Lakh entities registered providers of Goods or Service Tax out of which 64.4 Lakhs have already registered under for GST.
In a country of 130 Crore population has only 80 Lakhs of Goods or Service providers? It includes Corporate, MSMEs, Courier Agencies, Telecommunication Services providers, Transporters, Travel and Tour operators, Cinema Halls, Hotels, Restaurants, Bars, Apparel Outlets, Footwear outlets, Convenience Stores, Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Doctors, Advocates and other professionals etc. etc. etc.
If we start with Silver screen, the movie Tubelight is expected to be simultaneously released on 6,500 screens in India. We have a restaurant, Bar or Hotel in every nook and corner. If we visit Industrial estate in any city, there could be hundreds of manufacturing units including MSMEs. Therefore, Isn't is surprising that we have only 80 Lakhs of entities registered as Goods or Service providers.
If my assumption is correct, who are the real Tax Evaders? Individuals or Business Entities? more
