Finance Minister: GST Unlikely to Harm Small Businesses or Drive Inflation, Input Tax Credit Eases Burden

  • The Finance Minister stated that concerns about GST negatively impacting small businesses are unfounded.
  • International evidence shows GST alone does not cause inflation; price changes depend on multiple economic factors.
  • GST is set at 5% for most goods and services, but the input tax credit system reduces the tax burden for registered businesses.
  • Registered businesses can offset taxes paid on inputs, while unregistered businesses cannot charge GST and must bear the full GST on their inputs.
