India is a federal country where both the center and the states have the powers to levy and collect taxes through appropriate legislations. They have distinct responsibilities to perform according to the powers prescribed by the constitution. Accordingly, The center can levy tax on the manufacture of goods and rendering of services. The state can levy tax on the sale of goods
Why GST? The indirect taxation system had inefficiencies and limitations due to: Multiple taxes Multiple tax rates Multiple points of taxation GST allows seamless flow of tax credit, and eliminates the cascading effect of all the indirect taxes in the supply chain- from manufactures to retailers, and across state borders.
Here are some reasons to explain why: Simple Tax Structure: GST replaces a number of indirect taxes. Further, uniformity in tax rates, and structure of taxation makes GST simpler to understand and easy to administer. Eliminates cascading effect of taxes: The input credit set-off process is seamless, and the benefit is duly passed on to consumers. Technology Driven System: A robust and comprehensive IT system would be the foundation of the GST regime in India. Therefore, all tax payer services such as registrations, returns,payments,selfassesment,and so on would be available to the taxpayers online , making compliance easy and transparent. Increased Revenue: A simpler tax structure can bring about greater compliance, thus increasing the number of tax payers and in tum tax revenues for the government. The elimination of the cascading effect will directly result in price reduction of products which will benefit the end consumer.
What is GST? GST is tax on supply of goods and services with input credit setoff available at the next stage of value addition from manufacture to distributor to retailer until the end consumer. This means suppliers at each stage are permitted to set off the GST paid on the purchase of goods or services against the GST to be paid on the supply of goods or services respectively. The end consumer will thus pay only GST charged by the last dealer in the supply chain. Since taxes at each stage are set-off, cascading effect gets eliminated.
Supply of Goods and Services We know that all the different indirect taxes are subsumed under GST. This means, the concept of manufacture of goods, sale of goods, and provision of services will no longer be relevant. This makes the determination of point of taxation for GST simple. The taxable event under GST is the supply of goods and services Thus, for every business, it is important to understand the relevance of supply. Supply sets the scope of transactions liable for the levy of GST.
GST registration In the pre-GST tax structure, businesses registered under VAT were assigned TIN, and service providers had service tax registration numbers. Now, all businesses will be unified under the one-tax- GST. This leads to unified tax registration of all businesses. Being registered under the GST law means a business is acknowledged by the government of India, as a supplier of Good and services. Only registered businesses are allowed to claim Input Tax Credit. On registration, each business will be allocated a unique 15 digit PAN based registration number. This is called the GST identification Number(GSTIN)
