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: How is GST different from old tax system?

A

It would have one rate while old tax had multiple rates

B

 It would have different rates while old tax had only one rate

C

It would be almost the same as the earlier one

D

None of these
