2. Statement of the Problem
GST is a solo tax on the supply of Goods & Services. It combines the all other
indirect taxes, single-handedly GST replaced Seventeen other indirect taxes.
Excise Duty, Service Tax, Countervailing Tax, Special Countervailing Tax, Value
Added Tax (VAT), Central Sales Tax (CST), Service tax additional duties of
customers at central level, OCTROI, Entertainment Tax, Entry Tax, Purchase Tax,
Luxury Tax, Advertisement Tax, Taxes Applicable on Lotteries, Sur Charge on
supply & goods, etc. The GST replaced these all types indirect taxes single
headedly under the single roof and GST also finished & eliminates the
cascading tax effect and double, triple counting issues in computing the national
income. According to my research “Peoples of our country is very serious and
concern about this issue” and I have got mix experience of all types of peoples in
my research study. GST impacts the consumers spending ability by both sides
positively & as well as negatively. According to my research study the research
shows me the result that there is very strong relation between Income & Electronic
items, Sports Equipment and Other Needy Equipment by Profession, but I did
not get any strong relationship about very main necessary and other types of goods
and services, Like: No relation between the Income and Some very main
Necessary Goods & Services Like:- Wheat, Rise, Toothpaste, Clothing, Fashion
items, Foot Wares, Bathing Soap, Other Soap, Shampoo, Conditioner, Hair Oil,
Cream, Cosmetic, washing Powder, Fruits, Dry Fruits, Vegetables, Medicines, Hair
Oil, Soft Drinks (Coke, Pepsi, Tropicana Etc.), Fast Food, News Paper, Magazines,
Mobile recharge, Wi-Fi/Internet Connections, Entertainment, Doctor Charges,
Advocate Fees, Artist Charges (Singers/Musicians, Actor, Painter and any other.)
and Concerts Fees (Music Concert, Comedy Shows, Other.) and I also did not get
any relation between income & unnecessary goods and services, which not liked
by all types of peoples Like:- Tobacco, Wine, Rum, Beer and any Drug items,
Etc. My overall research study has given me a mixed experience of peoples which
affect many types of products and services, According to peoples preference GST
may lower price for Daily routine household items and services, But GST should
be high tax rates on unnecessary products &service, like:- Drug items, Wine,
Rum, Beer, Tobacco etc. GST should be lower rates also for Medicines and
medical treatments & Services.
