brokerage firm Jefferies said in a note.
• 2.Passing on the benefit of lower tax
“We believe that while corporates would pass on the direct benefits of GST (like a lower
tax rate), they would aim to retain partly (if not fully) the indirect benefits from the
saving in logistics costs, streamlining of business processes and the seamless flow of
input credits,” Nomura said in a report.
