GST regime is moving from uncertainty to certainty. These high pitch notices are merely teething problems. ~ Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime is moving from uncertainty toward certainty on some issues, Nirmala Sitharaman said, seeking to assuage global firms’ concerns about ‘tax certainty’ amid a spate of tax demand notices and investigations pursued by revenue authorities.

“The Constitutional body of the GST Council has actually brought about a great deal of comfort in having a ‘One Nation, One Tax’ principle effectively brought to the ground. Of course it has had teething problems,” she said.
