The Goods and Service Tax – An Introductory study written by CA Sudhir Halakhandi in the ICAI CA Journal at the time of start of initial discussion of GST in India has been used as a reference article in the GST bulletin of the Loksabha Secretariat. This bulletin is prepared to introduce the Members of Parliament with the basics of the Goods and Service Tax.
Goods and Service Tax is being glorified as a system of taxation by which economy will take a upward swing and further it will ease the trade and industry with respect to the indirect tax system of the country. The revenue will be increased and the consumers have to pay less tax. Only one indirect tax has to be paid by the trade and industry and all the other indirect taxes will be subsumed in GST.
Budget speeches since 2006 were used to declare a specific date for introduction of GST and the Trade and Industry is waiting for GST on the same promises as made in the Budget speeches of the Finance Ministers from year to year and now we are in year 2015 and still waiting for GST. Goods and Service tax was first referred in the Indian Budget by the Finance Minister in his budget speech in 2006:-

Vat was introduced in all over country in 2006 and GST is the logical conclusion of the successful introduction and imposition of Value added Tax in India. In its standard format GST is a single tax replacing all the indirect taxes and collected by a single authority but in our country the system of Governance is Federal and both centre and states have the power to collect indirect taxes in one form or another.
What is IGST and how this will monitor the interstate trade of Goods in GST? Will IGST replace the existing CST? Please explain with suitable example. A new model is developed under proposed GST to monitor the interstate trade of Goods and Services and this is called IGST. Let me clear first thing it will not replace the existing CST and there will be long awaited goodbye to Central Sales Tax in the GST regime.
Goods and Service tax which is going to be introduced in India is a Tax to be collected by states and centre both on a single transaction so if X of Mumbai sells Goods to Y of Mumbai then both SGST and CGST will be applicable on this transaction
