Remarks
No Input of Swachh Bharat Cess currently obviously created confusion and complexity which has been thankfully avoided in GST
However,Government should ensure that Total Rate of State GST+ Central GST should be ideally equal to current rate of Service tax i.e. 15%
Otherwise more tax will be payable by customer
