The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) has decided to launch a national campaign against the complicated goods and services tax and alleged malpractice of e-commerce companies. The campaign, which will be kicked off on March 5, will be carried on for a month with a focus on the states. According to CAIT, several state governments have distorted the GST practice to suit their own interests.</p>
<p>
In a statement the traders&rsquo; body said that &ldquo;these issues are directly related to the eight crore traders of the country&rdquo; and until &ldquo;logical resolution of these two issues is achieved, this movement will continue&rdquo;.</p>
<p>
CAIT added that traders across the country have been hit by the provisions of GST and the constant arbitrariness of foreign companies in e-commerce. If the issues are nor resolved, many traders will be forced to shut their businesses.</p>
<p>
Retailers across the country have been hit by the Coronavirus pandemic. Since elections will be held in five states in the next few months, this issue could become a critical one, CAIT warned. &ldquo;The trading community holds a huge majority in strength and numbers and can be a deciding factor for the victory and defeat of any political party,&rdquo; the association said.</p>
