A day after the launch of the goods and services tax (GST), global ratings agency Moody's Investors Service, has said that the new tax regime will be positive for India’s rating as it will lead to higher government revenue generation and improve the country’s economic growth. At present, Moody's has a 'Baa3' rating on India with a positive outlook.
The credit rating agency in its latest report anticipated that the GST will boost gross domestic product (GDP) growth and productivity gains over the medium term, by improving the ease of doing business, unifying the national market and enhancing India's attractiveness as a foreign investment destination. The agency said that the GST will also support higher revenue generation for the government through improved tax compliance and administration.
Moody's expects improved tax compliance owing to incentivisation of tax credits in a GST system, greater ease of compliance through usage of a common, shared IT infrastructure between the central government & the states along with a reduction in the overall cost of compliance with simplified tax rates and a uniform system across the country.
