Mr.Rajesh Gupta:-GST law will bring transparency in doing business, and SMB & SOHO community are going to get an advantage out of it. However, their reliance on computers and accounting software will increase as the process of return filing is complicated and it will be difficult to do so manually. The proposed system shall be more transparent, more paperless, but requires more compliance as well. The small taxable person should be taken care of, to avoid unnecessary burden on them.

Mr.Rajesh Gupta:-We have encouraged our resellers to focus on educating users about GST till it gets introduced and after that help them in a smooth transition to GST with the help of BUSY. There would be multiple statues whereby there could be on for Centre and one for State similar to the present VAT laws which are enacted in each state.
