There is confusion between authors and publishers because of the GST (Goods and Services Tax). The questions which arise in their mind are how much GST to be paid on book royalties and who is responsible to pay it. A writ petition was filed by the Meerut Publishers’ Association to get the precision on the matter. On September 11, 2018, the petition began in Delhi High Court against the centre because of the confusion created by India’s biggest tax reform.
