Businesses with more than Rs 10 lakh turnover may end up paying the central goods and services tax, with the Centre not agreeing to states’ suggestion of keeping the threshold at Rs 1.5 crore. The empowered committee of state finance ministers had suggested separate thresholds for central GST and state GST, wherein businesses below a […]
He said that the white paper proposes that the Central GST and State GST, that is CGST and SGST, will be concurrently administered by the centre and the state. Mr. Bhatia seems to believe that this will lead to immense confusion because it means that for every transaction, every dealer has to go to two authorities. And in some way that sort of subverts the intent of simplicity for which GST is being put in place in the first place.
The proposed goods & services tax (GST) could turn out to be a far more benign impost than anyone expected.In what would amount to a radical tax reform, the 13th Finance Commission is understood to have arrived at a revenue-neutral rate of around 12%, at least 4 percentage points lower than what most believed the combined Centre-state rate would be.
The model legislation for the introduction of goods and services tax (GST) will have a provision for registration of individuals and companies which pay the tax.The registration will be done through a uniform PAN-linked business identification number. The Department of Revenue in the Ministry of Finance had recently sent a proposal to state governments for making the 10-digit permanent account number (PAN) the starting point for registering GST payees.
The Constitutional amendment will be the basis for the new tax regime and will be followed by adoption of separate state and Central GST laws. The last amendment to the Constitution dealing with a financial matter was in 2000, when the Centre was given the power to tax services. The Ministry of Finance was in consultation with the law ministry on drafting of the amendment Bill.
Threshold:Different thresholds have been proposed, Rs 10 lakh for SGST (lower for some underdeveloped states), Rs 1.5 crore for CGST for goods and a lesser amount (not indicated as yet) for services. Thus, there will be four thresholds which has been criticised by several analysts but one must remember it is different in many developed countries as well.
The Empowered Committee of State Finance Ministers will form joint committees at the level of the states for inputs on the proposed goods and services tax before its planned introduction next year.“A joint committee at the level of the states will be made and that will be a part of the exercise for preparation to implement GST. The committee will be made along with other representatives of state associations and industry associations,” chairman of the empowered committee Asim Dasgupta said after a meeting with the Confederation of All India Traders.
With issues like the exclusion of petroleum products from the purview of Goods and Services Tax (GST) yet to be resolved, India may miss the GST implementation deadline of April 1, 2010. “There are various issues remaining unsolved. Currently, we are taking various industries’ views on them to resolve them at the earliest,” a senior official of the Central Board of Excise and Customs told PTI here today.
The Empowered Committee of State Finance Ministers, finally issued a long awaited First Discussion Paper on Goods and Services Tax in India. Though it was expected that this Discussion paper will put an end to much awaited queries on implementing GST in India, however after analyzing the Paper, it appears as if this has been drafted in a hush-hush manner to meet the revised deadline of implementing GST in India.
The indirect tax regime in India is evolving into GST in the year 2010. The steps towards introduction of GST have commenced. The Empowered Committee of State Finance Ministers has introduced the First Discussion Paper on GST in India on November 10, 2009. A dual structure of Central GST (CGST) and State GST (SGST) is proposed to be imposed on the manufacture of goods and on provision of services.
