Cost reduction for manufacturers: Once GST is rolled out, there will be a common tax structure and thus, the burden of paying tax over tax will reduce.
Cost reduction for logistics players: Logistics players create a stock transfer between inventory stocking points within states to avoid this multi-tax scenario. They have a large number of smaller warehouses at various locations amounting to more than 50 small warehouses in some cases, which increases the overall cost of logistics.
Merger of smaller warehouses: Many of the smaller warehouses lack proper infrastructure and facilities. With a new tax structure, the focus would shift on efficiency rather than tax saving
Development of new technologies: The current scenario prevented use of new technologies as the cost structures in place resulted in margins of less than 5% on a turnover of few million rupees.With implementation of GST, smaller warehouses will re-align/ merge into more productive and logical locations.
Increase in transportation lot size:With the development of bigger warehouses, the transportation lot size will increase. This will reduce the cost and time taken in transportation of goods.
Hub & spoke system: Organizers will now be able to explore a different distribution model such as setting up mother warehouse and regional distribution hubs, which will be away from the traditional carrying and forwarding (C&F) distributor-based models currently adopted.
Increase in cash flow: The new regime could increase the profit after tax of logistics players, thus giving them a better cash flow.
Reduction in transit time: The introduction of GST will reduce transit time taken for border crossings and paper work.
Increase in organized warehousing sector: As a result of the GST, there will a reduction in unorganized warehousing. Price charged by the organized sector will reduce the price advantage that unorganized sector presently enjoys.
