The Centre has turned down the proposal of the empowered group of state finance ministers to keep alcohol out of goods and services tax. The government has in fact suggested that both alcohol and tobacco, which are demerit goods and considered harmful for health, should be kept under GST, with the states getting the power to levy excise duty over and above GST on alcohol. The Centre would have the same power in case of tobacco.
The Delhi government’s proposal to hike value added tax (VAT) from 4% to 5% is seen running counter to the Centre’s move to introduce the goods and services tax (GST) in a bid to bring about uniformity in the tax structure. The Sheila Dixit-led government’s announcement came after tax collection for last fiscal came in at Rs 11,175 crore, down from Rs 13,000 crore the previous fiscal.

The subject of works contract is one of the most confusing and litigated issues. The Constitution (Forty Sixth Amendment) Act, 1982 granted powers to State Governments to enact laws for providing the levy of tax on the transfer of property (whether as goods or in some other form) involved in the execution of works contracts. Builders and Developers undergo untold hardship and misery while computing the gross and taxable turnovers. Each State has prescribed its own law, rules and methodology for determining the gross and taxable turnovers.
Under entry 92A of List I of the VII Schedule to the Constitution of India, the Parliament of India has the exclusive right to impose tax on sale or purchase of goods other than newspapers where such sale or purchase takes place in the course of inter-State trade and commerce.

Exercising the power so conferred by the Constitution of India, the Parliament has enacted the Central Sales Tax Act, 1956 (herein after referred to as “the Central Act”), wherein section 3 specifies the principles as to when a sale or purchase of goods take place in the course of inter-State trade and commerce.
