Report of Task Force on GST Thirteenth Finance Commission

December 24, 2009 3551 Views 0 comment Print

These recommendations differ considerably from the model and structure of the GST envisaged by the Empowered Committee of State Finance Ministers (EC) as described in the First Discussion Paper released by the EC on 10 November, 2009. The differences relate to several critical areas such as the tax base, tax rates, threshold limits, taxation of inter-State supplies of goods and services, exemptions/ compounding schemes and taxation of alcohol, tobacco and petroleum products in the GST regime, amongst others. It must be clearly understood that these are only recommendations and it is for the EC to accept or reject these recommendations.

GST got certain structural defects which need to be corrected before second Paper comes out

December 22, 2009 711 Views 0 comment Print

The Discussion Paper has envisaged a model of dual GST which has got certain structural defects that need to be pointed out for correction before the second Paper comes out. The proposed GST is an under achievement compared to the professed idea of a conceptually correct GST. It is an imperfect GST which has four rates with probably numerous exemptions, four thresholds, several taxes outside GST, a highly complicated system for inter-State credit of input tax and finally with no certainty that States will always abide by the fixed rates of tax. It is destined to be more complicated and ill administered than now.

GST is just a VAT :-GST as you are aware is just value added tax (VAT) because when made a presentation to the chief minister this was an issue which I was asked – In three years you have somehow setup VAT and now you are talking about GST.

GST unlikely to be introduced on April 1, 2010 as Constitutional amendment may take another five months

December 15, 2009 688 Views 0 comment Print

In spite of the optimism shown by Asim Dasgupta, chairman of the empowered committee of state finance ministers, the much-anticipated goods and services tax (GST) is unlikely to be introduced on April 1, 2010. The process of Constitutional amendment to bring the new indirect tax legislation may take another five months. “It will take 5-6 months for the amendment and everything else to fall in place. Besides, wecannot start work on things like IT infrastructure as long as a final GST structure is not there,” a highly-placed government official said.

Alcohol will not be out of GST

December 14, 2009 1002 Views 0 comment Print

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.

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 […]

Maharashtra taxman wants GST to be implemented from April 2011 instead of April 2010

December 5, 2009 741 Views 0 comment Print

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.

November 27, 2009 805 Views 0 comment Print

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.
