Introduction to GST • One of the biggest taxation reforms in India -- the Goods and Service Tax (GST) -- is all set to integrate State economies and boost overall growth. • GST is a broad based and a single comprehensive tax levied on goods and services consumed in an economy. • GST will create a single, unified Indian market to make the economy stronger.

Integrated GST (IGST) • For inter-state transactions • Centre to levy IGST which would be CGST + SGST • Inter-state dealer will pay IGST after adjusting IGST, CGST and SGST credit on purchase Rishabh R. Adukia
Set - off … • CGST against CGST • SGST against SGST • No Cross sectoral set-off between CGST & SGST • IGST for CGST/SGST & vice versa Rishabh R. Adukia
IGST … • The seller in State X will pay the IGST to the Centre • While paying IGST, seller will adjust his lying IGST/CGST/SGST credit • Suppose Seller adjusts the SGST against IGST payable,State X will have to transfer the credit of SGST used by the seller for payment of IGST to the Centre Rishabh R. Adukia
RATE OF GST • Rate is expected around 14-16 per cent. After the total GST rate is arrived at, the States and the Centre will decide on the CGST and SGST rates. • Currently, services are taxed at 10 per cent and the combined charge indirect taxes on most goods is around 20 per cent. Rishabh R. Adukia
Some Figures to Wonder ? • Balance Sheet Figure ? • Kareena Kapoors Figure ? • It is estimated that India will gain $15 billion a year by implementing the Goods and Services Tax as it would promote exports, raise employment and boost growth.

Why are some States against GST; will they lose money? • The governments of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Tamil Nadu say that the information technology systems and the administrative infrastructure will not be ready to implement GST. • The central government has offered to compensate States in case of a loss in revenues. Rishabh R. Adukia
Why are some States against GST; will they lose money? • Some States fear if the uniform tax rate is lower than their existing rates, it will hit their tax kitty. The government believes that dual GST will lead to better revenue collection for States. • However, backward and less-developed States could see a fall in tax collections. Rishabh R. Adukia
Issues In Implementation • Agreement on GST rates among states and Centre • Constitutional amendments empowering states to levy tax on services & empowering centre to levy tax on sales. • Compensation to be given by the Centre to States incurring revenue losses on implementation of GST. Rishabh R. Adukia
Issues In Implementation • Drafting & implementation of Centre GST and State GST laws are lagging behind. • Final approval and support of industry is a must. • Success of GST would depend upon implementation of IT resources in every nook and corner of the country. Rishabh R. Adukia
