Abstract
The following article is a clear cut explanation of impact of GST on the Telecom Sector. Goods and services Tax (GST) is an indirect tax reforms which aims to remove tax barriers between states and creates a single market. For that to happen, the constitution first needs to be amended to remove different layers of government powers to levy taxes.

One of the biggest impact areas of GST is the compliance requirements that the tax reform brings with it.
