contents <p><strong><em><span>Abstract:</span></em></strong></p> <p><em><span>The Goods and Services Tax (GST), implemented in India in July 2017, has brought significant changes to various sectors, including agriculture. Although agriculture is largely exempt from direct taxation under GST, several indirect effects influence the sector due to the taxation of inputs like fertilizers, machinery, and transport services. This study aims to analyse the impact of GST on the agricultural sector with a special focus on Solapur district, a region heavily reliant on agriculture. Using secondary data from 2022-23, 2023-24, and 2024-25, this paper evaluates the extent to which GST has affected input costs, supply chains, and farmer income.
