The implementation of GST in India has resulted in a significant 134% increase in new taxpayers over seven years. Introduced in July 2017, GST aimed to simplify the tax structure by subsuming various indirect taxes. As of the latest data, the number of registered GST taxpayers has grown substantially from 66.17 lakh at the start to over 1.55 crore currently.
