1ECONOMICS FOR SUSTAINABLE BUSINESSAnswer 1GST stands for Goods and Services Tax. It is a revolutionary action in the taxationsystem of the Indian economy. This is a comprehensive, destination-based, multistage, indirecttax, to be imposed on every value addition of the goods and services produced in the country.The main purpose of this law is to replace the previously existing several indirect taxes andintroduce a unified tax system. This tax system came into effect on 1st July, 2017. There are fewslabs for the GST rates, and those are 0%, 5%, 12%, 18% and 28% (Roy, 2017). According to the report by Mishra (2017), the solar energy store manufacturers and thepower sector of India have urged the government to reduce the GST on batteries from 28% to5%, as this is a vital component for power generation, sustainable energy and Electric Vehicles.Since, it is an indirect tax, the burden is shifted onto the customers by the producers throughhigher price of the product (Thorat, 2017).
