Tax experts are calling for comprehensive reforms in India's Goods and Services Tax (GST) system despite strong revenue collections in May 2026, which totaled ₹1,94,184 crore—a 3.2% year-on-year increase. Experts like Pratik Jain from Price Waterhouse & Co LLP emphasize the need to ease input tax refund provisions to support businesses facing rising input costs due to supply chain disruptions. Additionally, Vivek Jalan from Tax Connect Advisory Services LLP highlights the necessity to address inverted duty structures and advocates for bringing petroleum products under GST, which would reduce tax cascading effects. Manoj Mishra from Grant Thornton Bharat noted that the GST regime is demonstrating maturity, as collections remain robust without extraordinary revenue support. While the current figures reflect a resilient economy, experts stress that policy reforms aimed at improving refunds and reducing tax distortions are essential for sustaining growth and enhancing the tax ecosystem.
