Beneficiary Segments: Textile, Garment & footwear sectors in more than one ways.

 

Hits & Misses

 

Upside:

  • GST reduced compliance burden unambiguously
  • GST reduced input costs of the garment industry by subsuming complicated taxes
  • What it has facilitated is such as streamlining payments, minimising multiplicity in taxes, reducing/ doing away with overlap & easing documentation resulting in targeted record keeping
  • It has also resulted in integration of manufacturing activities in the units and across units in this fragmented sector

 

Downside:

What it is not as demanded that all indirect taxes must be brought under GST, so that exporters only need to claim a refund of the input taxes paid, making the system more efficient than separate reimbursement schemes

 

Issues that need redressal :

Reduction of GST slabs,

Inverted duty structure etc.

 

As per AEPC (APPAREL EXPORT PROMOTION COUNCIL),Chairman Dr A Sakthivel,"Though GST initially posed a lot of problems, over time GST has achieved it objective"
