1)GST is the next Generation of reforms in the
area of Indian Indirect Tax Reform.
2)It is a comprehensive Tax which would
eliminate most of the other indirect tax
prevailing in India, like Service Tax , VAT,
CST, Excise.
3)Most probably would be effective by 1 April
2016
4)First was introduced in France in 1954 &
now prevalent iun 150 other countries world
wide.
GST can be divided into these
to parts to explain it better.
Charging Tax
Getting Credit
The dealers registered
under GST are required
to charge GST at the
specified rate of tax on
goods & services that
supply to customers
If the recipient of goods
& services is a
registered dealer, he
will normally be able to
claim a credit of the
amount of GST he paid,
provided he holds a
proper tax invoice.
The net effect is that dealers
charge GST but do not keep
it, and pay GST but get a
credit for it. This means they
act essentially as collecting
agents for Government. The
ultimate burden of tax falls on
last and final consumer of
goods & services, as this
person does not get any
credit for the GST paid by
him to sellers and service
providers.

India is all set to roll out the largest indirect
tax reform since Independence 1947.
Finance minister Arun Jaitley is expected to
table the Constitution Amendment Bill in the
current session of Parliament to meet the
deadline of April 1, 2016, for its introduction.
For the tax to be implemented, the
constitution has to be amended & consensus
must be reached within states.
