This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Goods and Services Tax (GST) was implemented in India in July 2017, after four decades of protracted deliberations amid critical socio-economic and political challenges. GST is a comprehensive multistage value added tax (VAT) on goods and services where both central and state governments share the same tax base. Finding a suitable design for GST that encompasses taxes from both the centre and the state tax brackets makes the Indian GST unique among GST implemented in other federal countries. This book is a study of the evolution of GST in India since the Report of the Indirect Taxation Enquiry Committee of 1977. It studies the following issues on GST: a) inclusion and exclusion of taxes, b) finding a suitable mechanism to handle inter-state transactions, c) finding revenue neutrality of the tax reform, d) providing compensation to states for any possible loss of revenue due to its adoption, and e) possible scope for coordination in GST administration.

Book excerpt: Restructuring of the tax system has constituted a major component of fiscal reforms in India since 1991. The main focus of the tax reforms has been on simplification and rationalization of both direct and indirect taxes, with the objective of augmenting revenues and removing anomalies in the tax structure. Tax reforms in recent years have brought the tax system much closer to international tax practices. The current structure of taxes on goods and services in India is highly complex, riddled with exemptions, and characterized by complicated compliance procedures. The strategy of the Government in respect of indirect taxes is to continue the tariff reforms process towards mean Asian levels of customs tariff, convergence towards a single rate of excise duty (with some exceptions), widening of service tax base, and a phased move towards a fully-integrated goods and services tax (GST). This book traces the evolution of taxation of goods and services (indirect taxes) in India during the post-Independence period. More importantly, it analyzes the present structure of indirect taxes and the harmonization measures undertaken by the Government in this regard. It also examines and sets forth core issues pertaining to the proposed national level GST which is expected to be rolled out in the near future.

Download or read book Goods and Services Tax GST in India written by M. M. Sury and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recently introduced Goods and Services Tax (GST) is the biggest tax reform in the fiscal history of India. After missing several deadlines and overcoming almost a decade of political differences, the GST finally saw the light of day on July 1, 2017. Implementation of the GST leaves behind an inefficient, complicated and fragmented indirect tax system. The GST has subsumed a profusion of Central and State indirect taxes to create a single unified market. It is slated to make India a seamless national market, boosting trade and industry and, in turn, growth rate. The GST is expected to represent a leap forward in creating a much cleaner dual VAT. Common base and common rates will facilitate administration and improve compliance while also rendering manageable the collection of taxes on inter-State sales. By amalgamating a large number of Central and State taxes into a single tax and allowing set-off of prior-stage taxes, it would mitigate the ill effects of cascading or pyramiding and pave the way for a common national market. The ntroduction of the GST would also make India's products competitive in the domestic and international markets. This book explains various aspects of the GST in non-technical language for the benefit of a cross-section of readers, including teachers and students of economics, commerce, law, public administration, business management, legislators, business executives, and others interested in understanding the basics of the GST.

Book excerpt: While the revenue significance of indirect taxes, particularly sales tax for the States in India is undisputed, there is a need for rationalization and harmonization of these taxes. This paper looks at the evolution of sales taxes from the origin-based Central Sales Tax (CST) to Value Added Tax (VAT) and now to a proposed destination-based GST. To overcome the weaknesses of the sales tax system, including cascading and uneconomic allocation of production, VAT was introduced by the Government in 2005. VAT was seen as a move towards a more integrated market. To continue this reform process and evolve an efficient and harmonized consumption tax system in the country, the Government has now proposed a comprehensive Goods and Service GST tax. The introduction of GST is expected to end the long standing distortions of differential treatment of manufacturing and service sector It will lead to the abolition of various Central and State indirect taxes and eliminate the cascading effects of multiple layers of taxation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Government of India, in order to usher indirect tax reforms, intends to introduce Goods and Service Tax (GST) in India. Under GST system a tax on goods and services, is levied at each point of sale of goods, supply of goods along with provision of services. Introduction and implementation GST will be a major breakthrough in the taxation history of India. If implemented properly, GST can help in widening of tax base in India. Despite its ambitious project and mammoth task of tax reform, in GST regime, goods and services are not differentiated as they move through the supply chain. GST is levied on the value added at each stage of sale and purchase or supply with an inbuilt credit mechanism such that the tax is a pass through for businesses, and the tax burden is borne by the ultimate customer. With the introduction of GST, the responsibility to collect tax on goods and services from customers will become the responsibility of sellers or service providers. Before depositing the collected tax to the exchequer, sellers and service providers deduct the tax they have already paid during the course of purchase of goods and service aimed for value creation.
