GST Clarifications Cause Concerns for FMCG Distributors
The government recently clarified some rules about taxes, but it's causing problems for businesses that sell everyday goods.
When businesses pay taxes on what they buy, they can usually get some money back.
But now, some businesses may not be able to use this money right away, locking it up.
Also, there are different tax rates for products.
One group is complaining that some taxes are not fair because of discrepancies.
Businesses want the government to fix these issues so they can keep their costs low and make sure consumers benefit from the tax changes.
