<h1>GST Implementation to Boost India's Export Competitiveness, Simplify Tax Regime by April 2016 Under Trade Policy 2015-20.</h1> The Foreign Trade Policy 2015-20 highlights the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) by April 1, 2016, as a crucial domestic challenge. The lack of a uniform indirect tax system in India has hindered exporters from receiving rebates on indirect taxes, inflating export prices and reducing competitiveness. The introduction of GST aims to simplify and harmonize the indirect tax regime, reducing production costs and creating an integrated Indian market. This reform is essential for achieving the objectives of the Foreign Trade Policy 2015-20, enhancing the competitiveness of Indian trade and industry.
