Nagpur: “Goods & Service Tax (GST) which is proposed to be implemented very soon will be a game changer for the nation’s economy. The efforts Chartered Accountants are taking for preparing themselves as well as their clients are worth appreciating. The law will be successful when the common public will adopt it for which various awareness camps and workshops will be required where the Chartered Accountants have to play a major role,” said S Sivamathan, Director (Finance) of Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited.

Efforts should be taken to equip the industry about GST and to train their staff members as well.
