The state governments across the country are more concerned about their vested interests and they are not worried about the simplification of the tax system.
Instead of doing business, the traders of the country spend all their day in managing the GST tax tangle. Due to this the productivity and creativity of the businessmen is suffering and it is adversely affecting the country's economy. In such a situation, the government should should give another though to GST in its present form.
