It would be no exaggeration to say that the GST is one of the most important reforms in post-independent India. Its impact is multi-layered, ranging from tax behaviour to strengthening the federal polity to ensuring fiscal equity. The book carries a foreword by India’s finance minister Arun Jaitley. Excerpts: “...Mr Krishnan had a ringside view of the evolution of the GST. The book is written in a very lucid and readable style... a number of interesting suggestions have been made from the policy perspective. I am sure that this book will be useful for both, the lay reader and the tax professional.”
