GST, one of the leading structured reforms in the indirect tax domain, has helped India improve its ranking in ease of doing business significantly. Though India improved its rank in ease of doing business for the last two years, the push is attributed to indicators other than GST. This paper analyses India’s segment-wise position in paying taxes domain, comparing it with global benchmarks. It explores the teething problems in GST where improvement may bring counterproductive effect to strengthen the DB rank further.Downloads
