The journey of moving towards a single tax system has not been particularly smooth. Issues regarding its structure, tax bracket and subventions for states that may face revenue losses, surfaced. While a landmark tax such as the GST is expected to have far-reaching implications for sectors across the economy, its impact on real estate as a whole is likely to be a mixed bag.
