The Empowered Committee of State Finance Ministers unveiled the First Discussion paper on Goods and Service Tax in India on 10th November 2009. This discussion paper provides us with broad contours of dual GST to be implemented in India.
Section 74A dealing with the powers of the Commissioner to revise Orders passed earlier was introduced with effect from November 16, 2005. Provisions of the Section have now been made effective retrospectively from April 1, 2005. Extension of time limit for disposal of disputes pending under the erstwhile Delhi Sales Tax Act.
With effect from the quarter ending December 31, 2009, electronic submission of returns has been made mandatory for: * dealers claiming refund * dealers having transactions of inter-state sales and inter-state purchases, either presently or previously anytime under the VAT regime
The Government of Punjab has recently imposed Entry Tax on 12 new items under section 3A of Punjab Tax on Entry of Goods into Local Areas Act, 2000 (Punjab Act No.9 of 2000). The List of which has already been provided in the articles published earlier.
Punjab VAT notification levying additional tax ; Effective February 5, 2010, dealers are required to charge an additional tax calculated at 10% of the amount of tax payable. The additional tax in respect of liquor shall be effective April 1, 2010., Punjab Entry Tax notifications levying entry tax on certain goods
The greatest advantage of new GST regime is that it addresses fully the concern of tax cascading. Presently tax cascading is found in both- central and state taxes as the exempt sectors of economy (trade, oil etc) are not allowed to claim any cenvat credit of indirect taxes. It neither happens in excise duty nor in state value added tax. Also, on inter state sales, central sale tax (CST) is collected by the origin state for which no credit is allowed by any Government.
As is now well known, the Empowered Committee of State Finance Minister (EC) had, in November 2009, issued a First Discussion Paper (Paper) on the dual Goods and Service Tax (GST). This paper had set out the EC’s views on the nature of the dual GST, its coverage, the manner of its applicability, its coverage and on several other design aspects of the GST as well, including on treatment of inter-state supplies of goods and services.
The Sales Tax Department has implemented the scheme of filing electronic return successfully. In a step further to automation, it is now decided to provide facility for electronic payment. The Government has amended the rules relating to the payment vide notification cited at Ref-3. A new rule 45A is inserted. Now, amended rule provides that a State Government may issue notification and specify the class or classes of dealers required to make mandatory payment of tax interest or penalty, if any, or any amount payable by or under the Act electronically. This rule further provides that such e-payment shall be applicable for such period as may be specified in the said notification.
The Supreme Court has decided to examine the plea of Punjab government pertaining to the provision of its VAT law which according to the government provides no exemption to the assessees from the mandatory deposit of 25% of the tax, penalty and interest for entertaining their appeal by the appellate authority.
The long-awaited reform of India’s indirect taxes system is set to get a fillip , with a broad consensus forming within the finance ministry on a rate of 16% for the proposed Goods and Services Tax (GST) for both Centre and states combined. To be levied on all companies and traders with annual turnover of Rs 10 lakh and above, this would provide a tax base of 40-45 lakh assessees and ensure that neither the Centre nor states suffer any revenue loss.
