Reforms in the indirect tax system have been going on for quite some time. India has moved from the old sales tax regime to the VAT regime and now moving towards the GST system. Chhattisgarh, one of the newly created states, has been a leading state in tax reforms. It is one of the few states which implemented the VAT. An analysis of tax revenues in Chhattisgarh reveals that VAT has resulted in more revenues to the state; in fact, in some years the actual tax collected was higher than the budgeted figures. However, VAT in Chhattisgarh is not free from limitations. The sample survey reveals that various stake holders in the state of Chhattisgarh have a positive approach to the GST regime.
