THE HINDU

GST reform and unfinished business in tobacco control

As India marks eight years since the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on July 1, 2017, it is worth reflecting on this landmark reform. GST replaced a multiplicity of indirect taxes such as Value Added Tax (VAT), excise duties, and service tax, establishing a unified national market under the "One Nation, One Tax" framework. The reform harmonised tax rates across States, enhanced ease of doing business, and facilitated greater economic integration. Economically, GST has been a consistent contributor to national revenue. Gross GST collections in 2024-25 reached a record ₹22.08 lakh crore, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 9.4%.
