The proposed implementation of GST, a destination based consumption tax, has been designed as a dual VAT, keeping in view the unique federal nature of India’s Constitutional Polity. The different imperatives driving this reform and role of GSTN in achieving them is briefly spelled out below
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is levied on the taxable supplies of goods and services. The principle that is generally adopted for levy of GST is that it should effectively tax the consumption of such supplies at the destination thereof or as the case may at the point of consumption. Goods being tangible do not pose any significant problems for determination of their consumption.
One of the distinctive features of Goods and Services Tax is that it is levied on the value addition on each stage of supply chain. This is achieved by allowing input tax credit (ITC) of tax incidence on the immediately preceding stage of supply chain. Illustratively, the tax paid by manufacturer supplier is available as ITC to whole seller.

In the Model GST Law, the provisions for Settlement Commission are incorporated only under the IGST Act (sections 11 to 26). This implies that cases cannot be settled in relation to tax liability of CGST/SGST Act. However, there is a possibility that those state tax administrations which want to constitute Settlement Commission can do so on the basis of the template provided under the IGST Act and the CGST Act can have an enabling provision drawing from the IGST Act for such states.

It also brings certainty in determining the tax liability, as the ruling given by the Authority for Advance Ruling is binding on the applicant as well as Government authorities.
The purpose of this write-up is to provide an overall basic understanding of the statutory provisions (contained in the Model GST Law) which deal with the processes of tax appeals at various levels.
