CfP: Two-Day National Conference on ‘One Nation, One Tax’ by Saveetha University, Chennai [June 18 – 19; Exciting Awards]: Submit by May 30!

By subsuming multiple centra and state taxes, GST has simplified tax compliance, reduced inter-state trade barriers, and strengthened market integration.

With over 1.4 crore registered taxpayers most of them MSMEs the reform has encouraged business formalization, enhanced digital compliance through the Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN), and improved transparency.

While more developed states have leveraged GST to enhance competitiveness and expand market access, less-developed and rural regions continue to face challenges such as compliance costs and limited digital infrastructure.

Therefore, a critical academic discussion is essential to evaluate GST’s role in promoting inclusive entrepreneurship across Indian states.

The seminar aims to examine the economic principles underlying the “One Nation, One Tax” system and to analyse the impact of GST reforms on entrepreneurship across various Indian states.

The seminar also focuses on identifying regional disparities and proposing policy measures to strengthen GST reforms in order to foster inclusive and equitable entrepreneurial growth.
