In June 2000, an expert group headed by NIPFP director M Govinda Rao observed that the ‘selective approach to taxation of services is undesirable for this violates neutrality in taxation, leads to inadequate coverage in addition to raising several avoidable procedural and legal complications’. The group recommended that the Centre should move towards a ‘general and comprehensive extension of the tax to cover all services with a small and clearly defined exemption list’.
GST shall have two components: one levied by the Centre (Central GST), and the other levied by the States [State GST].
The tax code comes in the economic background of over 400 million people being below the poverty line; with many areas disturbed due to underdevelopment; sustained policies of inclusive growth having reduced the poverty ratio but not absolute numbers; and a huge lack of infrastructure.
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.
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 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.
