The recent reforms in taxation, including the Goods and Services Tax (GST), have been a significant step towards promoting economic growth in India. With a total of 222.19 billion USD collected as GST revenue in the fiscal year 2021-22, the government has been able to generate substantial revenue. However, there are still some challenges that need to be addressed, such as the complexities in the GST filing process, which can be cumbersome for small and medium-sized enterprises.
To overcome these challenges, the government has introduced several measures, including the introduction of a single GST return filing system and the use of technology to simplify the compliance process. According to a report by the World Bank, India’s ranking in the Ease of Doing Business index has improved significantly, from 142 in 2014 to 63 in 2020, due to various reforms, including taxation. Despite these efforts, some critics argue that the tax burden on certain sectors, such as the manufacturing industry, is still high.
The government needs to strike a balance between revenue generation and promoting economic growth. With the right policies in place, India can achieve its goal of becoming a 5-trillion-dollar economy by 2025.
