14.  Reduction in prices
 Increase in Government Revenue
 Less compliance and procedural cost
 Taxes which cannot be set off will reduce
 All India tax will be based on value added
 No value added implies no tax to be paid to the
government
 Creation of a tax neutral supply chain.
 You follow any route; the tax given to the government will
remain the same.
 Entry tax, Octroi etc. Will be there, but as is evident, these
are also being slowly removed. This will make the supply
chain perfectly neutral to taxes

15. Factors to be kept in mind about GST
All the states implement the GST together and that too,at the same rates.
For smooth functioning, the GST legislation clearly sets out the taxable event.
It should be clearly identifiable as to where the goods are moving.
CAs will have to take the onus to spread the awareness about GST.
