Goods And Services Tax - GST

Goods And Services Tax:

What is GST?The GST is basically an indirect tax that brings most of the taxes imposed on most goods and services, on manufacture, sale and consumption of goods and services under a single domain at the national level. In the present system, taxes are levied separately on goods and services. The GST is a consolidated tax based on a uniform rate of tax fixed for both goods and services and it is payable at the final point of consumption. At each stage of sale or purchase, in the supply chain, this tax is collected on value-added goods and services, through a tax credit mechanism.

The Proposed Model of GST and the RatesA dual GST system is planned to be implemented in India as proposed by the Empowered Committee under which the GST will be divided into two parts:

State Goods and Services Tax (SGST)

Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST)

Both SGST and CGST will be levied on the taxable value of a transaction. All goods and services, leaving aside a few, will be brought into the GST and there will be no difference between goods and services. The GST system will combine Central Excise Duty, Additional Excise Duty, Services Tax, State VAT or Entertainment Tax etc. under oe banner.

The GST rate is expected to be around 14-16 per cent. After the combined GST rate is fixed, the States and the Centre will decide on the SGST and CGST rates.Presently, there are arouond 160 countries that have implemented the GST or VAT in some form or the other, France was the first country to introduce GST. The only other country with a dual GST is Canada.

How is GST applied? GST is a consumption based tax/levy. It is based on the "Destination Principle". GST is applied on goods and services at the place where final/actual consumption happens.

GST is collected on value-added goods and services at each stage of sale or purchase in the supply chain.

GST paid on the procurement of goods and services can be set off against that payable on the supply of goods or services. The manufacturer, wholesaler or retailer will apy the applicable GST rate but will clain back through tax credit mechanism.

But, being the last person in the supply chain, the end consumer has to bear this tax and so, in many respects, GST is like a last-point retail tax. GST is going to be collected at point of Sale.
