It was introduced as The Constitution (One Hundred and First Amendment) Act 2016, following the passage of Constitution 122nd Amendment Bill. The GST is governed by GST Council and its Chairman is Union Finance Minister of India, Mr. Arun Jaitley. GST is a comprehensive indirect tax on manufacture, sale and consumption of goods and services throughout India (Except state of Jammu and Kashmir), to replace taxes levied by the central and state governments. 2.1.1 Overview on GST in India The Constitution (122nd Amendment) Bill, 2014, seeks to amend the Constitution of India to facilitate the introduction of Goods and Service Act. It is the Indirect Tax charged on local consumption and is borne by end consumers. It is collected at each stage of the production and distribution chain by registered vendors, who have to account for the tax on the value that they have added to goods and services. France is the first country to introduce GST. Almost 160 countries have introduced GST in some form. While countries such as Singapore and New Zealand tax virtually everything at a single rate, Indonesia has five positive rates, a zero rate and over 30categories of exemptions. The authority to levy tax is derived from the Constitution of India which allocates the power to levy various taxes between Centre and State. 2.1.2 Need for GST: India’s recent progress towards economic growth stems from reforms undertaken after the 1991 fiscal crisis, which lifted India from decades of slow growth under Socialist rule and offered an opportunity to improve living conditions in the immense, poor country. At the same time, much had changed in India after the balance of payments crisis of 1991. Indian policies became more positive towards promoting export and allowing foreign capital to participate in the process of India’s growth . Globalisation and liberalisation have become the order of the day. The interdependence of economies in their move for development compelled the Governments of all the countries to follow the globalisation policies adopted by the major economies of the world. To survive and grow in this economic order, rational and competitive tax policies are being adopted by every country. India has also fallen in line with the requirement and has been initiating modifications in indirect taxes. The recent proposals of Goods and Services Tax (GST) are considered as path-breaking in the economic restructuring in general and in the taxation area in particular. As the revenue to the government is increasing its figures from indirect taxes year by year, this change will further boost the economy in a positive way which is necessary for the international competence and globalising the market and economy OBJECTIVES OF GOODS AND SERVICE TAX 1. TO ELIMINATE THE CASCADING EFFECT OF INDIRECT TAXES ON SINGLE TRANSACTION - The basic objective of GST is to remove cascading effect of the taxes. Cascading effect of taxes mean levy of tax on tax. GST would be levied only towards the net value added portion and not towards the entire portion of value as the tax payer would enjoy input tax credit. 2. TO SUBSUME ALL THE INDIRECT TAXES AT THE CENTRE AND STATE LEVEL - Barring few indirect taxes, all the major indirect taxes levied by central and state governments have been subsumed into GST. Thus, the taxpayer and supplier need not bother about paying multiple indirect taxes under different laws. 3. TO REDUCE THE TAX EVASION AND CORRUPTION - GST would help in curbing of tax evasion and reduce corruption in tax department. In the system of GST, there would be less chance to claim false input tax credit as it requires matching of invoices between recipient and the suppliers. Input tax credit can be claimed only if the tax has been deposited by the registered supplier to the Government. Each invoice wise matching and verification would be made to ensure that taxes are properly paid to the government. 4. TO INCREASE THE PRODUCTIVITY - GST would help in increasing the enterprise productivity and efficiency. There was also levy of entry tax in few States on entry of goods into states. In GST regime, entry tax has been subsumed. Number of checks on State borders would also reduce due to removal of check posts. These factors would help in increase of productivity. 5. TO BRING MORE PEOPLE UNDER THE TAX NET - GST helps in widening of the tax base and bring large number of people into tax net. Now there is a single limit for turnover below which registration would not be required. More tax payers would be covered under the tax net which ultimately could result in increasing the tax base and tax revenue for the government. 6. TO ACHIEVE THE POLICY OF ONE NATION ONE TAX - GST replaces multiple indirect taxes which were existing in the previous regime. There is a single and neutral tax in most cases so there would not be any differences in the tax rates between one state to another state. GST law has achieved the policy of one nation one tax. LIMITATIONS OF GOODS AND SERVICE TAX – 1. Additional Software Expense Most businesses use ERP or accounting software to manage their day-to-day operations. These solutions were developed as per the traditional tax laws in the country. GST required the businesses to switch to GST-compliant solutions or standalone GST software to keep up with the new tax laws. 2. Online Tax Regime - GST is an online tax system. From GST registration to filing GST returns, every aspect of this new tax regime is done online. While businesses are gradually shifting to digital solutions, small businesses are still not very well-versed with such modern technologies and solutions. 3. SMEs will have a higher tax burden - Smaller businesses, especially in the manufacturing sector will face difficulties under GST. Earlier, only businesses whose turnover exceeded Rs 1.5 crore had to pay excise duty. But now any business whose turnover exceeds Rs 20 lakh will have to pay GST. 4. Increase an operational costs - we have already established that GST is changing the way how tax is paid, businesses will now have to employ tax professionals to be GST-complaint.. Effect of GST on Indian Economy : 1. Increased FDI - The flow of Foreign Direct Investments may increase once GST is implemented as the present complicated/ multiple tax laws are one of the reasons foreign Companies are wary of coming to India in addition to widespread corruption. 2. Growth in overall revenues - It is estimated that India could get revenue of $15 billion per annum by implementing the Goods and Services Tax as it would promote exports, raise employment and boost growth. 3. Simplified tax laws - This reduces litigation and waste of time of the judiciary. Present law appears to be much worse and an amalgam of the bad parts of VAT/ ST. 4. Increase in exports and employment - GST could also result in increased employment, promotion of exports and consequently a significant boost to overall economic growth and factors of production -land labor and capital. CHAPTER – 3 CONCLUSION India has many taxes in place like excise, sales tax, service tax, entertainment tax, VAT etc. These taxes are divided at Central as well as state level. These bundle amount of taxes are difficult to manage and sometimes causes inconvenience to businesses and customers. GST aims to solve it with single indirect taxation system. GST has been the buzzword in the country for the last few days and finally the bill has passed, leading to the realization of “One country, one tax”, at least on papers for now. Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) is a nonprofit organization formed to create a platform for all the concerned parties i.e. stakeholders, government, taxpayers to collaborate on a single portal. The portal will be accessible to the central government which will track down every transaction on its end while the taxpayers will be having a vast service to return file their taxes and maintain the details. The IT network will be developed by private firms which are being in tie up with the central government and will be having stakes accordingly. While overall the industry is looking forward to the introduction of GST, more will be clear only when the actual tax rate under the new Bill has been decided. The exclusion of petrol and diesel from the GST umbrella may be another concern as otherwise prices would have come down. However, as states have correctly pointed out, petroleum related products (and alcohol) as the biggest source of revenue for state governments, maybe this is for the better.
