Impact of GST on advertising sector

As the nation gears up for a mid-night history of the nation's biggest tax reform our sectors are keeping their fingers crossed for a big change, appended below is the quote from Mr. Ashish Shah, Founder & CEO, Vertoz for your reference.
“The current Service tax of over 15 per cent remains a cause of concern for the industry. With the upcoming GST, we hope that the Government eases the tax burden and reduces it which will in turn have an impetus and boost the advertising industry at large. GST is good for the economy in the long run, if the economy is healthy and growing, so will also be the advertising industry.  If the tax rate is revised adequately, the advertising industry will have a good run like it did in 2016, with a projected growth of over 15 per cent, making India one of the fastest growing advertising markets globally”
