The new GST will make the entire country come under one tax regime. The proposed GST Bill will play an important role in being the primary reason for removing the irregularities and the complications of multiple tax levies thereby enabling a higher flow of investment. The tax reforms will reduce the barriers for new entrants, this will make the competition in the market much fiercer. All the new players in the market will look to cease this golden opportunity by adopting a competent brand strategy which would be backed up by a strong market analysis. A proficient Strategy is a must for a brand especially if they are ambitious to understand their competitor’s strength and weaknesses so that they are able to counter their rival’s tactics.
