“With the advent of GST and the expected Direct Tax Code, there is a massive change in the tax ecosystem. The technological empowerment of tax administration and complexity of design oblige the taxpayers to undertake a holistic appraisal of their tax positions, keeping in mind both direct and indirect tax paradigms.
