In a federal country like India where the power to tax domestic trade is divided between the Central Government and the State Government, the designing of a destination based GST becomes extremely complicated. A conventional national GST cannot be implemented without the States losing their fiscal autonomy.
Vat is a one of the indirect tax in our India. It is simple and transparent system with limited scope of department control due to the self assessment made by dealers and less scope for tax evasion due to strict penal provision. As Per entry 54 in list II (State List) of schedule VII to constitution of India, state are empowered to levied tax on sale or purchase of goods other than newspapers.
