In a survey conducted by Local Circles across 18,000 businesses spread across 171 districts of India, 28% of respondents expressed their dissatisfaction with the tax regime while 43% said they were happy. The main reason for dissatisfaction is spending more time on GST compliance versus pre-GST business taxation, and a majority are facing issues to understand, login, and submit information on the GSTN website. In comparison to pre-GST, 64% of businesses say their monthly accounting costs have increased post-GST, while 57 % of businesses also said invoice matching between inputs and outputs is their top issue with GST.
