It is official. The much-anticipated Goods and Services Tax (GST), which will replace most of the indirect taxes levied by the Centre and states, will not be introduced from the targeted date of April 1. The Bills pertaining to the introduction of a new law and amendment to the Constitution will not be tabled in the coming Budget session of Parliament. Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and state finance ministers will meet in April to decide a new date for the GST rollout.
Department of Revenue has agreed to most of the recommendations put forward by Empowered committee in FDP on GST relating to harmonious structure of rate, taxation base, exemptions, chargeability, definition of taxable event, taxable person, valuation, classification etc.However, there are certain areas where Department of Revenue has suggested changes or deviated from FDP. The said areas of differences are discussed below:
The Planning Commission today said that the proposed Goods and Services Tax (GST) is likely to miss the deadline of April 1, but it could be introduced in the next fiscal only. “Well, we were hoping that it (GST) will come from April 1, but it does not appear that it will be so,” Planning Commission Member B K Chaturvedi told PTI.
The Revenue Department has submitted its comments on the goods and services tax discussion paper, which was released by the State Finance Minister’s Committee on November 10. It wants excise duty, octroi, purchase tax, and local taxes to be brought under the GST ambit, along with alcoholic beverages and petroleum products. The department has agreed to levy GST plus excise duty on tobacco products.
The Government should implement the GST regime with defined sharing arrangement between the State and the Centre, thereby protecting the interest of the State in generating revenue. How will carbon credits be taxed under the proposed Goods and Services Tax regime?
One of the most favoured duty reimbursement schemes among exporters — the Duty Entitlement Passbook (DEPB) scheme — is likely to be scrapped, as the government gears up to introduce the Goods and Services Tax (GST) from April 1. The scheme, which was extended till December 31 in the Foreign Trade Policy 2009-2014, is widely viewed as one of the best incentive schemes by exporters.
Changes in regulations like the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), Goods and Services Tax (GST), Direct Taxes Code and the new Companies Act are likely to spur business for consulting and audit firms.
The government may take the first step towards fiscal consolidation in Budget 2010-11 by partially rolling back tax cuts given to the industry last year. The service tax rate may be restored to 12 per cent, while excise duty could be increased marginally.
The Centre has suggested setting up a common dispute resolution scheme for settlement of cases in the proposed goods and services tax (GST). It is also suggesting sharing of service centres between the Centre and states, besides common registration facilities for traders. “It is proposed to prescribe a common registration form, common registration number, common return format, common service centres for acceptance of registration applications and return for Central GST and State GST, &” Sushil Solanki, commissioner, central excise, said at a seminar on GST regulations at the American Chamber of Commerce on Monday.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has asked the government to defer the implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST) from April 1, 2010 by an year to allow for a smoother transition to the new indirect tax framework.
