 TAX
MEANING: Taxation is the imposition of compulsory levies on individuals or entities by
governments in almost every country of the world. Taxation is used primarily to raise revenue for
government expenditures, though it can serve other purposes as well.

Taxes are the most important source government revenue. Taxes differ from other sources of
revenue in that they are compulsory levies and are unrequited—i.e., they are generally not paid in
exchange for some specific thing, such as a particular public service, the sale of public property or
the issuance of public debt.

Classes of taxes

In the literature of public finance, taxes have been classified in various ways according to who pays
for them, who bears the ultimate burden of them, the extent to which the burden can be shifted, and
various other criteria. Taxes are most commonly classified as either direct or indirect, an example of
the former type being the income tax and of the latter the sales tax.. There is much disagreement
among economists as to the criteria for distinguishing between direct and indirect taxes, and it is
unclear into which category certain taxes, such as corporate income tax or property tax, should fall.
It is usually said that a direct tax is one that cannot be shifted by the taxpayer to someone else,
whereas an indirect tax can be.

TYPES OF TAXES

DIRECT TAX

Direct taxes are primarily taxes on natural persons. Direct taxes are one type of
taxes an individual pays that are paid straight or directly to the government, such as income tax,
poll tax, land tax, and personal property tax. Such direct taxes are computed based on the ability
of the taxpayer to pay, which means that the higher their capability of paying is, the higher their
taxes are.

INDIRECT TAX:

Indirect taxes are basically taxes that can be passed on to another entity or individual. They are
usually imposed on a manufacturer or supplier who then passes on the tax to the consumer. The
most common example of an indirect tax is the excise tax on cigarettes and alcohol. Value Added
Taxes (VAT) is also an example of an indirect tax.

INTRODUCTION OF GST:

WHAT IS GOODS AND TAX?

GST is known as the Goods and Services Tax. It is an indirect tax which has replaced many
indirect taxes in India such as the excise duty, VAT, services tax, etc. The Goods and Service Tax
Act was passed in the Parliament on 29th March 2017 and came into effect on 1st July 2017.

In other words, Goods is levied on the supply of goods and services. Goods and Services Tax Law in India
is a comprehensive, multi-stage, destination-based tax that is levied on every value addition. GST is a
single domestic indirect tax law for the entire country.

The term GST is defined in the Article 366(12A) to mean "any tax on supply of goods or
services or both except taxes on supply of alcoholic liquor for human consumption

THE JOURNEY OF GST IN INDIA:

The GST journey began in the year 2000 when a committee was set up to draft law. It took 17
years from then for the Law to evolve. In 2017, the GST Bill was passed in the Lok Sabha and
Rajya Sabha. On 1st July 2017, the GST Law came into force.

GST is a comprehensive indirect tax levy subsuming all central and state levies with a single unified
value added tax transforming the nation into one single market. Major Central and State taxes are
subsumed into GST which will reduce the multiplicity of taxes, and thus bring down the compliance
cost. With GST, the burden of CST will be phased out.

11 | P a g e
In India, the idea of adopting GST was first suggested by the “Atal Bihari Vajpayee” Government
in 2000. To the “Narendra Modi’s” Government in 2014, India’s new Finance Minister Arun
Jaitley was submit 122nd Constitution Amendment Bill in the 16th Lok Sabha on 19th December
2014. The opposition demanded that the bill be sent for discussion to the standing committee.
Then Government of India has appointed various committees, task force to give their views to
introduce a vibrant and modern Indirect Tax structure in India.

Finally in August 2016, The Constitution Amendment bill was passed in the parliament & 18
states ratified The Constitution Amendment Bill & The President “Pranab Mukherjee” gave his
assent to it.
GST council has also recommended four – tier GST rate structure & thresholds.
.
GST council approved the Central Goods & Services Tax Bill 2017 (The CGST Bill), The
Integrated Goods & Services Tax Bill 2017 (The IGST Bill), The Union Territory Goods &
Services Tax Bill 2017 (The UTGST Bill), The Goods & Services.

Tax (Compensation to the states) Bill 2017 The Compensation Bill, these Bills were passed by the
Lok sabha on 29, March, 2017. The Rajya sabha passed these Bills on 6th April 2017.

The GST was implemented at midnight on 1st July 2017 by president of the India, “Pranab
Mukherjee” & the government of India. The Jammu & Kashmir state legislature passed its GST
act on 7 July 2017.

OBJECTIVES OF THIS FILE:

 To check the impact of GST.
 To check the current status of GST on growth and development of the country.
 To study about GST and it’s functioning.

Objective of the GST:-

 One Country – One Tax.
 Consumption based tax instead of Manufacturing.
 Uniform GST Registration, payment and Input tax Credit
 To eliminate the cascading effect of Indirect taxes on single transaction
 Subsume all indirect taxes at Centre and State Level under
 Reduce tax evasion and corruption
 Increase productivity
 Increase Tax to GDP Ratio and revenue surplus
 Increase Compliance

Concept of GST:-

The Act came into effect on 1st July 2017; Goods & Services Tax Law in India is a
comprehensive, multi-stage, destination-based tax that is levied on every value addition. In simple

12 | P a g e
words, Goods and Service Tax (GST) is an indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and
services.

 Who shall pay?  Taxable person- sch III

 On what GST shall be paid?  Supply of Goods and services Section

7

 When GST shall be paid?  Point of Supply

 Where shall GST be paid?  Place of supply

 To who shall would be paid?  Respective Government

 How to pay?  Cash / Credit

Types of GST:-

There are three kinds of taxes under the GST.

SGST, CGST & IGST

1. SGST:-

13 | P a g e
SGST means State Goods and Service Tax. It is covered under State Goods and Service Tax Act
2016. A collection of SGST will be the revenue for State Government. After the introduction of
SGST all the state taxes like Value Added Tax, Entertainment Tax, Luxury Tax, entry Tax etc.
will be merged under SGST. For example, if goods are sold or services are provided within the
State then SGST will be levied on such transaction.

2. CGST:-
CGST means Central Goods and Service Tax. CGST is a part of goods and service tax. It is
covered under Central Goods and Service Tax Act 2016. Taxes collected under Central Goods
and Service tax will be the revenue for central Government. Present Central taxes like Central
excise duty, Additional Excise duty, Special Excise Duty, Central Sales Tax, Service Tax etc. will
be subsumed under Central Goods And Service Tax.

3. IGST:-
IGST means Integrated Goods and Service Tax. IGST falls under Integrated Goods and Service
Tax Act 2016. Revenue collected from IGST will be divided between Central Government and
State Government as per the rates specified by the government. IGST will be charged on transfer
of goods and services from one state to another state. Import of Goods and Services will also be
deemed to be covered under Inter-state transactions so IGST will be levied on such transactions.
For example, if Goods or services are transferred from Rajasthan to Maharashtra then the
transaction will attract IGST.

Tax Rates under GST:-

GST rates are divided into five categories which are 0%, 5%, 12%, 18%, 28%.
All the basic need requirement good are pleased in 0% category like food grains, bread, salt,
books etc. Goods like paneer packed food, tea coffee etc. are placed under 5% categories.
Mobiles, sweets, medicine are under 12%. All types of services are under18% category. All other
remaining luxury items are placed under the last head of 28%.

Composition scheme under GST:-

Any taxable person whose aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year is less than Rs. 1.5
Crores and less than Rs. 75 lakhs for North Eastern States can opt for a simplified composition
scheme where tax will payable at a concessional rate on the turnover in a state without the benefit
of Input Tax credit. The floor rate of tax for CGST and SGST shall not be less than 1%. A tax
payer opting for composition levy shall not collect any tax from his customers. Tax payers
making inter-state supplies or paying tax on reverse charge basis shall not be eligible for
composition scheme.

14 | P a g e
The rationales behind moving from current tax structure to GST are explained
below:-

 The indirect tax Regime where taxes under various headings are levied on goods and
services would be replaced with one common tax module. This will encourage national
market due to uniformity in tax structure across the states.
 Taxes levied at multiple levels mean extra burden on consumers and businesses due to
cascading effect. Implementation of GST would mean relief from excess taxing at
different levels.
 Earlier taxes for goods and services were separate, but clearly distinguishing between
goods and services have become difficult with lot of innovation and technological
advancement. GST will remove this problem too.

Vat (value added tax): Value-added tax (VAT) is consumption on goods

and services that is levied at each stage of the supply chain where value is added, from initial
production to the point of sale. The amount of VAT the user pays is based on the cost of the
product minus any costs of materials in the product that have already been taxed at a previous
stage.

How a Value-Added Tax Works:

VAT is levied on the gross margin at each point in the process of manufacturing,
distributing, and selling an item. The tax is assessed and collected at each stage. That is
different from a sales tax system, in which the tax is assessed and paid only by the
consumer at the very end of the supply chain.
1

Say, for example, a candy called Dulce is manufactured and sold in the imaginary country
of Alexia. Alexia has a 10% VAT.

Vat v/s sales tax

The main difference between a VAT and a sales tax is that a sales tax is only paid once: at the
initial point of sale. This means only the retail customer pays the sales tax.

Pros and Cons of VAT

In addition to the fiscal arguments, proponents of a VAT in the United States suggest that
replacing the current income tax system with a federal VAT would have other positive
effects.

Pros:
15 | P a g e
  Substituting a VAT for other taxes such as the income tax would close tax
loopholes.
 A VAT provides a stronger incentive to earn more money than a progressive
income tax does.

Cons:
 A VAT creates higher costs for businesses.
 It can encourage tax evasion.
 Passed-along costs lead to higher prices—a particular burden on low-income
consumers.

MEANING OF SUPPLY

Supply includes all forms of supply of goods and services such as

 Sale
 Transfer
 Barter
 Exchange
 License
 Rental or lease
 Disposal

Made or agreed to be made for a consideration by a person in the course of Furtherance

of business.

Normally a supply will involve two independent persons. However, GST makes transactions
between two branches of the same legal entity in different States/ countries or two different
registrations within the same State also taxable under GST.

Transactions of supply of goods between principals and agents which are not subject to tax in
present regime are taxable supplies under GST as these have been treated as supplies under
Schedule I of the CGST Act.

 CHAPTER 2:
REVIEW OF LITERATURE

17 | P a g e
Review of Literature:-
Halakhandi, (2007)

GST was supposed to be introduced in India way back in 2010. It has been getting postponed due
to various reasons major one being getting to a consensus between the various states and the
Centre for compensation. The author in the paper has discussed the existing laws in India for
indirect taxes, the VAT laws in various states with their advantages and disadvantages, the impact
of the proposed GST, the compliances under the proposed GST etc. The author has also used
various numerical examples to demonstrate how GST is cost effective.

Eva, (2008)

The author in his paper has examined the cost of complying with the indirect tax laws in the
Slovak Republic by doing research of small, medium and large businesses through a
questionnaire and concludes that businesses especially the small ones are not able to and do not
make efforts to quantify the cost of compliance which is quite high due to the complex laws.

Eugen, (2011)

The authors have examined the various methods adopted by assesses to evade VAT especially in
intra country transactions in Romania. The authors have also recommended the documentation
and returns which could be relied upon by both the authorities and the assesses to ensure that
there is no tax evasion.

Mansoura, (2013)

GST has always been considered as a tool in the hands of any Government to increase revenue.
The Malaysian Government introduced the said tax in Malaysia in order to reduce its budget
deficit. The authors in the paper have discussed the readiness of the Malaysian economy in
adopting the said newly introduced GST along with the reactions of various sections of the
society.

Satya Bhushan Research Scholar,

GST has started in India by passing a long way. Most of the countries now in the world are
under this system. Again, there was a need for a new one-country tax system to free India
from many taxes and rate system. GST will greatly help overcome economic confusion
caused by the complex tax structure and help in the development of general national
markets. It is expected that all sectors of economy such as industry, business, government
departments and services sectors have to bear its positive impact.

Kaultilya’s arthsastra
18 | P a g e
Kautilya’s Arthasastra: Kautilya claims that taxes are often seen as a Means of raising revenue for
the government. The primary goal of tax Collection in the primitive barters societies of medieval
Europe and even Ancient India was to raise funds for the economy. Metric & A Korean study
(1977): According to the Metric report, a 1% Reduction in GST would result in a 0.7 percent
reduction in prices. However, according to a Korean report, the implementation of GST has a
Stable effect on prices. It shows that after the implementation of GST in Korea in July 1977,
wholesale prices increased by 9% and consumer prices Increased by 1.7 percent. Musgrave
(1986): GST. Has a wide-ranging effect on the economy. This is because the tax has an effect on
a number of macroeconomic variables, Including savings, expenditure, wages, distribution costs,
and resource Performance. Some of these variables are influenced directly by GST, while others
are influenced indirectly. When a country implements GST.

Tait, Alan A. (1988):

Tait, Alan A. (1988): Tait discovered that many governments have adopted unnecessary
interventional policies to handle the sensitive issue of changing tax rate at the time of GST
implementation, according to an analysis of policies in various countries. The impact of GST on
prices has been studied, and the exact impact depends on the situation that, it is a different tax
system or a tax replacement. Overall, the data indicates that this tax is not inflationary.

Tax Council-Paris (1988):

Tax Council-Paris (1988): Rises in tax rate do not have an automatic effect on market price,
according to studies discussed in the Sixth Report of Tax Council and same has been presented to
The President of the Republic of Paris; rather, the amount of effect is contingent on the general
economic situation and other government activities. GST inflationary potential is determined not
only by potential offsetting adjustments in other taxes and the existing money supply, but also by
wage, transfer payment, liquidity, and psychological effects.

NIPFP (1989):
NIPFP (1989): India's CENVAT demonstrate the level of wholesale prices for all commodities
from April 1986 to September 1987, according to a research carried by NIPFP (National Institute
of Public Finance and Policy). The research discovers that the impact of price on a few products,
primarily intermediate inputs and capital goods, is significant but marginal at the disaggregated
level.

Purohit Mahesh (1994):

Purohit Mahesh (1994): One of the factors responsible for proper VAT compliance, according to
his research, is the organisation of the tax administration. Another important aspect of VAT
management is the operations, which begin with the registration of taxable persons. Both aspects
of the tax system's administration, as well as the costs of enforcement, are equally significant. The
registration of taxable persons is the first step in the VAT management process. Once registered,
the taxpayer's duty to file returns and procedures for keeping books of accounts vary depending
on the activities and amount of turnover. The method of assessment varies depending on the
taxpayer's group. The lump-sum taxation scheme is complicated, but it provides taxpayers with a
number of benefits in terms of their commitments.

Purohit Mahesh (1995),

19 | P a g e
Purohit Mahesh (1995), In a separate report, he looked into the structure and administration of
India's sales taxes. He believes that if the sales tax is not adequately administered, it would negate
its intent and jeopardise the canon of equity. It may result in the development of a parallel
economy as a result of increased tax evasion. He outlined the characteristics of sales tax
administration, reviewed the organisational criteria, which included a management information
system (MIS), and proposed changes to the way sales tax is operated and administered. He
believes that tax administration plays an important role in achieving tax policy goals. He stressed
the importance of improving sales tax administration in order to pave the way for the introduction
of VAT instead of sales tax.

Analysis, Finding & Recommendation

Data presentation of GST:-
GST- The Goods and Services Tax- is the mother of all tax reforms in India. It is crucial for all
businesses to understand the implications of GST on their brands. Since GST is a new law and
crucial processes like return filing and invoicing have been changed, it is even more important
that business owners and tax professionals understand the nuances of these new laws so that they
can be GST-compliant.

Understanding the Payment Process under GST

Every registered person is required to compute his tax liability on a monthly basis by setting off
the Input Tax Credit (ITC) against the Outward Tax Liability. If there is any balance tax liability
the same is required to be paid to the government.

There are 3 ledgers prescribed by the government that is required to be maintained by every tax
payer –

1. Electronic Tax Liability Ledger

The electronic tax liability ledger shows the total tax liability of a registered person at any point of
time. This detail can be accessed on the GST portal of a registered tax payer

Amount of tax payable A

Interest, late fee B
Amount of tax payable along with interest on account of mismatch C
of credit based on provisions of Section 29 or Section 29A or
section 43C
Any other amount payable by the taxpayer or directed by the board D
on account of any proceeding’s carried out

Tax Deduction at source E

Tax Collection at source F
Tax payable under reverse charge G
Amount payable by the department against any interest, refund, H
penalty, late fee or any other amount determined under the
proceedings under this Act
Balance in Electronics Tax Liability Ledger =A+B+C+D-E-F-G-H

2. Electronic Cash Ledger

An Electronic Cash Ledger will also be maintained on the GST portal. It will display the total
amount deposited by the tax payer towards discharge of his tax liability or interest or late fee or
29 | P a g e
penalty any other amounts. Also, it is now mandatory for businesses making payment for more
than Rs 10,000 to do it electronically.

3. Electronic credit ledger

All the taxes paid on the inputs would be recorded in the electronic credit ledger. The input tax
credit in each of the cases mentioned below, shall also be transferred to the electronic credit
ledger:

 ITC available to the branch for the amount of credit transferred by ISD
 ITC allowed on input held in stock and the semi-finished or finished goods would be
credited to electronic credit ledger if the taxpayer applies for registration within 30 days of
becoming liable to pay tax.
 ITC available on the input held in stock and semi-finished or finished goods by a taxpayer
in the composition scheme converting to a normal taxpayer shall be transferred to
electronic credit ledger.
 ITC available due to the taxes paid under the reverse charge mechanism shall also be
transferred to the electronic credit ledger.
 ITC available on goods/services used for the business and other purposes shall only be
allowed to the extent applicable for business purposes.

All the payments under GST have to be made by either using the input tax credit available in the
electronic credit ledger or through the electronic cash ledger.

30 | P a g e
 Utilizing ITC for the fulfillment of Tax liability:
IGST: After the IGST input tax credit is used for payment of IGST then the remaining ITC can
be used to pay tax liability under CGST and SGST.
CGST: The CGST input tax credit cannot be used to pay the SGST liability but can be used to
pay the liability under CGST. Further, the balance of CGST credit available can be used to pay
the IGST liability.
SGST: The SGST input tax credit cannot be used to pay the CGST liability but can be used to
pay the liability under SGST. Further, the balance of SGST credit available can be used to pay the
IGST liability.

Data analysis of GST:-

The Prime Minister approved the Constitution Amendment Bill for goods and service tax”( GST)
in the parliament Session ( Rajya Sabha on 3 August 2016 and Lok Sabha on 8 August 2016)
along with the ratification by 50% of the state legislatures. Thus, the current indirect taxes levied
by state and Centre are all set to be replaced with proposed implementation of GST by April
2017.This would be the biggest tax Reform since Independence and a boon to the economy as it
will eradicate the shortcomings of the current tax structure and provide a single tax on supply of
all goods and services.

Benefits of GST:-

 Removal of bundled indirect taxes such as VAT, CST, Service tax, CAD, SAD, and Excise.
 Less tax compliance and a simplified tax policy compared to current tax structure.
 Removal of cascading effect of taxes i.e. removes tax on tax.
 Reduction of manufacturing costs due to lower burden of taxes on the manufacturing sector.
Hence prices of consumer goods will be likely to come down.
 Lower the burden on the common man i.e. public will have to shed less money to buy the same
products that were costly earlier.
 Increased demand and consumption of goods.
 Increased demand will lead to increase supply. Hence, this will ultimately lead to rise in the
production of goods.
 Control of black money circulation as the system normally followed by traders and
shopkeepers will be put to a mandatory check.
 Boost to the Indian economy in the long run.

Conclusion of GST

Implementation of GST is one of the best decisions taken by the Indian government. For
the same reason, July 1 was celebrated as Financial Independence day in India when all
the Members of Parliament attended the function in Parliament House. The transition to
the GST regime which is accepted by 159 countries would not be easy. Confusions and
complexities were expected and will happen. India, at some point, had to comply with
such regime. Though the structure might not be a perfect one but once in place, such a
tax structure will make India a better economy favorable for foreign investments. Until
now India was a union of 29 small tax economies and 7 union territories with different
levies unique to each state. It is a much accepted and appreciated regime because it
does away with multiple tax rates by Centre and States. And if you are doing any kind
of business then you should register for GST as it is not only going to help
Indian government but will help you also to track your business weekly as in GST you
have to make your business activity statement each week.
