The major advantages of VAT will be achievement of simplification in the indirect tax system. The second advantage is easy administration since the dealers and manufactures will be issuing invoices which will be available for cross checking which in tern will reduce the propensity to evade tax.

“A large number of countries in the world today have a value added tax system which has been recognized to be the most efficient from of commodity taxation. I am glad to note that some state governments are moving towards value added tax system.
