State lawmakers will pass GST regime in state soon and after GST rollout in the state there will be requirement of GST-trained professionals in Jammu and Kashmir.  Though the complexities of this new tax regime have baffled many, it is seen as an opportunity for job creation in new sector by a few.

Union Minister for Labour and Employment Bandaru Dattatreya has recently said that with the roll out of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) across the nation, one lakh jobs will be created in the first three months. In addition, around 60,000 persons would get employment in the accountancy sector.

If complexities related to account maintenance in GST persist, it is likely to step up the use of computers which will then require experts of the field.

The situation which now arises is that the new tax system will create difficulties for business entities to deal with the figures while filing taxes owing to which there will be the need of additional manpower.

GST is expected to create significant job opportunities as the businesses will need to hire professionals for dedicated GST management, upgradation and reconciliations. 

The problem will not be faced by giants but by small retailers who will not be able to handle computer in the state. They will also have to hire someone for the computing and they may end up losing their business in this way.
