The Goods and Services Tax (GST) council has recommended a reduction in tax collected at source (TCS) for online commerce platforms. The TCS would be reduced from 1% to 0.5%, benefiting sellers and brands operating on platforms like Amazon and Flipkart. This reduction would help free up cash flow, allowing businesses to reinvest in their operations. However, restaurants selling through food delivery platforms may not benefit as much, as they are charged GST directly by the platform. Only the sale of specific products like ice creams and desserts will benefit from the reduced TCS.

- Amazon has been accused by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) of illegally refusing to bargain with a union representing drivers employed by a contractor, Battle Tested Strategies (BTS). - The NLRB claims that Amazon is considered a joint employer of the drivers employed by BTS and used illegal tactics to discourage union activities at a facility in Palmdale, California. - BTS drivers voted to join the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union, becoming the first Amazon delivery contractors to unionize. - The NLRB states that Amazon broke the law by terminating its contract with BTS after the drivers unionized, without first bargaining with the Teamsters. - Amazon argues that it does not have enough control over drivers' working conditions to be considered their joint employer. - The case will be heard by an administrative judge in Los Angeles, with an initial hearing scheduled for next March.
