A PRESENTATION ONGOODS & SERVICE TAX

WHAT IS GST?

GST is a value added tax, levied at all points in the supply chain with credit allowed for any tax paid on inputs acquired for use in making the supply. It would apply to both goods and services in a comprehensive manner with exemptions restricted to a minimum. The introduction of GST would be a significant step in the reform of indirect taxation in India.

INTERSTATE GST

DELHI

YAMUNAEXPRESSWAY

A new model is developed under proposed GST to monitor the interstate trade of Goods & Services, and this is called IGST. A point to be noted is that it will not replace the existing CST.IGST is not in addition to CGST & SGST, but is only for monitoring interstate transactions.

AGRA

Dealer of the selling state will collect IGST from the purchaser on interstate transaction & the rate of IGST will be the combined rate of SGST & CGST. Say if the rate of SGST is 12% & CGST is 14%, then the rate of IGST will be 26%.

IMPORT

S

• Dual GST should be levied on Imports along with the facility of credit for the tax paid.

EXPORT

S

• Exports must be zero rated i.e. there should be no tax element in the price of goods exported.

In addition to the IGST, in respect of supply of goods, an additional tax of up to 1% has been proposed to be levied by the Centre. The revenue from this tax is to be assigned to the origin

states. This tax is proposed to be levied for initial 2 years or such longer period as recommended by the GST Council.

BENEFITS

1. ELIMINATION OF CASCADING EFFECT & MULTIPLE TAXATION

WIDER TAX BASE

2. INCREASE IN THE % OF PEOPLE PAYING TAX

It has been projected that more number of people would come under the purview of GST, as compared to the present system.

The present threshold prescribed in different State VAT Acts, below which VAT is not applicable varies from State to State. Thus numerous returns have to be filed, which makes the task really complicated.

3. SIMPLIFICATION OF TAX STRUCTURE-PRESENT SITUATION

A uniform GST threshold across States is desirable, which would minimise the difficulty level. Different VAT returns will not be required to be filed.

-PROPOSED SITUATION

TAX (CGST)

TAX (SGST)

To the extent feasible, uniform procedure for collection of both CGST & SGST would be prescribed in the respective legislation for CGST & SGST.

4. UNIFORM PROCEDURE

GST-THE GAME CHANGER

GST Will Be A Game Changing Reform For Indian Economy By-

• Developing A Common Indian Market.

• Reducing The Cascading Effect Of Tax On The Cost Of Goods And Services.

According to World Bank & IMF, GST Will Be Instrumental In Helping The GDP Of India To Grow By 2%.

PRESENT SCENARIO

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley met with state finance ministers in Kolkata, and said that 'virtually all states' except Tamil Nadu have backed the proposed GST Bill.

He urged PM Modi to meet Tamil Nadu CM Jayalalithaa and convince her to extend support for the bill.

1% additional tax as goods move across states.

The constitutional cap of 18 per cent and an independent dispute redressal mechanism.

MAJOR CONCERNS OF THE CONGRESS OVER THE BILL

We all have come a long way. With a bit of more effort, the day is not far away, when GST would actually become applicable in India!!
