Being a more effective alternative to writing an article and get it published, I have written a number blog posts on my blog Go to Vidyadhar Apte Google+ for updates and latest blog posts and more.

This blog is started from September 19, 2016 and the first post of the said blog was:

Hello everyone,

We are about to enter into revolutionary change in Indirect Tax since independent.....the Indirect Taxes like Central Excise, Service Tax, VAT and many more are likely to subsumed in one common tax viz. 'GOODS & SERVICES TAX' (GST in short).

I have started my practice in the year 1997, when rarely (except retired fellows from the department) were the Consultants in Central Excise & Service Tax (which was a baby at that time). Day by day as the era of Service Tax get increase, more and more Consultants including Chartered Accountant started their practice in Indirect Tax particularly Service Tax.....

Today everybody knows Service Tax but still Central Excise is not in coverage area.

A right time right decision to introduce GST, when 'one country one tax' needed......but this change is not so easy......GST is a subject matter from last 15 years by 2 different Governments....it's mechanism, applicability, procedures were and are like keep more and more secrecy as if the same is precious jewellery. No doubt, it's precious because our National Wealth is depending upon it but it should be given in the hands of National Wealth creator (who are liable to pay taxes) before its implementation for their keen study...

Various reports, papers, model law are published from which a raw skeleton can be made of GST but it is not sufficient.

Therefore, I have decided to start this blog to give more and more information in simple language to create social awareness about GST.

Your suggestions, comments are welcome. The cognizance of each comment shall be taken and eligible comment shall be incorporated with due credit given.

Thanks a lot.
