Directions (1-5): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it in the context of the passage.

The GST Council's meeting this week did not conclude successfully as Centre and states were unable to reach a consensus on tax rates. In itself, this is not worrisome on account of the complexity of the subject. But the Centre's tax proposals appear untouched by the spirit of reform. GST is India's most ambitious tax reform and if structured well will benefit Indians in two ways: as consumers and job seekers. The structure and level of tax rates, therefore, is key to success. It means the current approach has to be improved upon. Today, the Centre's indirect tax structure is messier than states and characterised by a multiplicity of rates.

Question: The cause of disagreement at the GST council meeting was

A

on the issue of paying or not paying the tax

B

on the issue of common tax rates

C

on the issue of share of distribution of tax money

D

None of these
