India needs lower tax on recruitment services to boost jobs, says industry body

India's Indian Staffing Federation (ISF) has called for a reduction in the 18% tax on recruitment agencies providing outsourced staff to big companies. The ISF, which provided 1.6 million outsourced workers to companies last year, believes the new government should support hiring more salaried workers. The ISF claims that the 18% goods and services tax discourages employers from hiring contract workers through recruitment agencies.
